    Which of the following are common causes of golf car accidents?

    • Car paths are in poor condition

    • Cars are poorly maintained

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    Both car paths being in poor condition and cars being poorly maintained are common causes of golf car accidents. If the car paths are in poor condition, it can lead to uneven surfaces, potholes, or other hazards that can cause the golf car to lose control or tip over. Similarly, if the cars themselves are poorly maintained, it can result in faulty brakes, worn-out tires, or other mechanical issues that can contribute to accidents. Therefore, both factors can increase the likelihood of accidents occurring on the golf course.

    Following the manufacturer's recommended procedures is necessary even if the facility has established its own maintenance routines. The manufacturer's recommended procedures are designed to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the equipment or facility. Deviating from these procedures may lead to potential issues or malfunctions that could have been prevented.

    Leasing is better from a cash flow standpoint while purchasing results in more equity?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Leasing is better from a cash flow standpoint because it allows the business to make smaller monthly payments instead of a large upfront purchase. This helps to preserve cash flow and maintain liquidity. On the other hand, purchasing results in more equity because the business owns the asset outright and can benefit from any appreciation in value. This can provide long-term financial stability and potential for profit.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the term "golf cart" is used when referring to pulling it, implying that it is designed to be pulled or towed. On the other hand, the term "golf car" is used when referring to riding it, indicating that it is meant to be driven or ridden. Therefore, the statement is true as it highlights the different terminology used depending on how the vehicle is used.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When putting together a new fleet or upgrading an existing fleet you should not?

    • Consider the course layout

    • How many cars are needed on a slow day

    • To lease or own

    Correct Answer
    A. How many cars are needed on a slow day
    Explanation
    When putting together a new fleet or upgrading an existing fleet, it is important to consider various factors such as the course layout, whether to lease or own the cars, and most importantly, how many cars are needed on a slow day. This is because having an excessive number of cars on a slow day can result in unnecessary expenses and reduced profitability. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately assess the demand and determine the optimal number of cars required on a slow day to ensure efficient fleet management.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    There are more gas cars then electric today?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because there are actually more electric cars than gas cars today. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles and the push towards sustainability, the number of electric cars on the road has been steadily growing. Many countries and governments have also implemented policies and incentives to encourage the adoption of electric cars, further contributing to their popularity. Therefore, it can be concluded that there are more electric cars than gas cars today.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which is not an advantage of an electric car?

    • Lighter

    • Quieter

    • Smoother

    Correct Answer
    A. Lighter
    Explanation
    An electric car being lighter is not an advantage because it can affect the stability and safety of the vehicle. A heavier car tends to have better traction and stability on the road, especially during turns or in adverse weather conditions. It also provides a better impact absorption in case of a collision, ensuring the safety of the passengers. Therefore, being lighter is not considered an advantage for an electric car.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The more responsibilities and financial risks you assume, the greater your share of the income?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Assuming more responsibilities and taking on more financial risks typically leads to a higher income. This is because individuals who are willing to take on more responsibilities and risks are often rewarded with higher compensation for their efforts and contributions. By taking on additional responsibilities, individuals demonstrate their capability and commitment, which can lead to promotions, bonuses, or higher-paying job opportunities. Additionally, taking on financial risks, such as starting a business or investing in high-yield assets, can potentially result in greater returns and income. Therefore, it is generally true that assuming more responsibilities and financial risks can result in a greater share of income.

    • Call 911

    Correct Answer
    A. Render aid
    Explanation
    The first step when an accident happens is to render aid. This means providing assistance to anyone who is injured or in need of help. It is important to prioritize the safety and well-being of individuals involved in the accident before taking any further actions. Calling 911 and checking for damages to the golf car can come after ensuring that immediate medical attention is provided to those who require it.

    • Adequate ventilation

    • "First in, first out" traffic pattern

    • At least 50 square feet of space per car

    Correct Answer
    A. Adequate ventilation
    Explanation
    Adequate ventilation is the most important for a storage facility from a safety standpoint. Proper ventilation helps to prevent the buildup of harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide, and reduces the risk of fire hazards. It also helps to control humidity levels, preventing the growth of mold and mildew which can damage stored items. Good ventilation promotes a healthy and safe environment for both employees and stored items.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Electric cars take up more space then gas?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Electric cars typically require more space than gas-powered cars due to the size and placement of their battery packs. Electric vehicles often have larger and heavier batteries, which need to be accommodated in the design of the car. This can result in a larger overall vehicle size, as well as reduced interior space for passengers and cargo. Additionally, electric cars may require additional space for charging infrastructure, such as charging stations or home charging units. Therefore, it is true that electric cars take up more space than gas-powered cars.

    Explanation
    To determine the golf car rental rate, checking with courses in the area would be the most appropriate approach. By doing so, one can gather information about the prevailing rental rates in the market and set a competitive price accordingly. This method ensures that the rental rate is in line with the rates offered by other courses in the area, allowing for fair pricing and attracting potential customers.

    The best way to gauge a club's golf car needs is to check the area?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    To gauge a club's golf car needs, checking the area is the best way. This means assessing the size and layout of the golf course, the number of players, and any specific terrain or obstacles that may require the use of golf cars. By examining the area, the club can determine how many golf cars are necessary for efficient transportation and ensure that they meet the demands of the course and players.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Which of these is not an average for golf cars?

    • 57 in a fleet

    • $1900 per car concession

    • Are white

    Correct Answer
    A. Are white
    Explanation
    The given options are 57 in a fleet, $1900 per car concession, and are white. The question asks for the option that is not an average for golf cars. While 57 in a fleet and $1900 per car concession can be considered as average values, the color "white" is not a characteristic that is used to calculate averages. Therefore, "are white" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Golf cars are the largest source of revenue?

    • True

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which of the following is least likely to affect the number of golf cars a facility will need?

    • Facility is a daily fee course

    • Cars are required at all times

    • Privately owned cars are permitted on the course

    Correct Answer
    A. Facility is a daily fee course
    Explanation
    The fact that the facility is a daily fee course is least likely to affect the number of golf cars needed. This is because whether the facility charges a daily fee or not does not directly impact the need for golf cars. The number of cars required at all times and the policy of allowing privately owned cars on the course would have a more direct influence on the number of golf cars needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of these is not something golf cars do for golfers?

    • Add years to a golfers career

    • Speed up play

    A. Make the game more fun
    Explanation
    Golf cars do not make the game more fun for golfers. While they can add convenience and speed up play by allowing golfers to move quickly between holes, and potentially extend a golfer's career by reducing physical strain, their primary purpose is not to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

    What is not a guideline for determining fleet size?

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 car per 1000 rounds played annually

The other two guidelines mentioned in the question, 4 cars for each hole and 1 car for 8 playing members, are guidelines that can be used to determine fleet size. However, the guideline of 1 car per 1000 rounds played annually does not directly relate to the number of cars needed for a fleet.
