Here you go over the wheel tie downs see link: http://www.harborfreight.com/over-the-wheel-tie-down-bonnet-97230.html
I also use the bonnets on my buggies, but you may have clearance issues with the golf cart sitting so low plus you will need to add additional anchor points to the floor.

You will be better off if you can strap it down without the suspension coming into play. I experimented with several strategies before I found one that works for me. I pull from both sides of the frame on the front to a tie down point under the center of the rear of the cart. Rear straps pulling forward from the bottom u-bolt brackets under the rear axle to a center tie down in the front. The cart has never moved on me like this.
Agreed. Try to grab strap points at the lower suspension or axle as close to the wheels as possible to avoid fighting the suspension. If you tie to the frame, the suspension will cycle over rough road and may overload your straps or anchor points. It will also cause shock as the the straps loosen and tighten with the frame oscillating which is most likely the reason the batteries have come loose.
