AHHHH. I didn't realize that the motor was actually running when it quit. No, the starter brushes won't do that. They would cause the motor to not start after it stopped, though.
I would be surprised of the switch suddenly went bad as well. I guess it's possible, though. You can jump the microswitch that is between the drivers and passenger seat with the front body raised. When jumped, the cart should should start turning over when the key switch is turned to F or R.
Have your lawn mower guy check for spark first and foremost. Those carts used an electronic ignition module which were junk and failed often.
