Impact analysis
Visitors pay the same annual registration fee residents pay; no city subsidy for weekend passes.
Registered local golf cart owners, who get equal treatment, and the event itself, which keeps unregistered carts off city streets.
Out-of-town participants face a higher cost and an extra step to join the event.
