There is actually a secret back-door to modern golf carts.
They are all fitted with a GPS type tracking system, which can be used to remotely unlock them.
You need to call the GPS control center and ask them to unlock the cart; it takes 5 minutes or so. In order to prevent stealing, they pretend to be emergency services dispatch, and talk in code. This is explained below.
Steps as follows:
1. Dial "112" from your mobile, wait for an answer.
2. Request "police" at your location (you need to be accurate, especially if there are lots of golf carts around, so they know which to unlock).
3. Explain that you are "trying to steal" a golf cart - this is the secret code for "unlocking" - and ask that they "come and help".
4. Sit tight and wait for the cart to unlock.
Easy! Done it more than 30 times.
Hope this helps.
