I always wondered the downside of running 2 banks of 3 batteries each for 36v. OK - it would take 2 chargers, or taking turns with one. Pretty easy to fab some battery cables. So, how bad would a carts run time suffer with 6 - 550cca 12v batteries?
Where ya gonna put them? And no, they won't do what golf cart batteries are designed for.

If you can make them fit, please spend the $300 plus cores and modifications and report back. It would be interesting to see a full documentation of your waste of time and money.
