Just from a mechanical standpoint, what is easier to get from point A to B, an 80lb machine (plus the weight of a person) or the weight of a several hundred pound machine (plus two people). Since the two Segways would do same thing as a golf cart, but with only the fraction of the weight and size, would they not be more efficient energy and cost wise?
If you really want overkill, I would say a golf cart itself is overkill for driving from one hole to another.
