The most common problem is bad battery cable connections, have you checked and double checked them? You didnt say what model 1997 Club Car you have? Does it have a lever under drivers leg that controls F&R ( SERIES MOTOR ) or do you have a rocker type switch mounted on a box in same position under leg ( REGEN MOTOR )? Testing will be different depending on model.
It could be as simple as a bad internal contact in solenoid, and if you can jack up the rear wheels and block fronts to stop any motion and when pressing pedal while tapping with some thing heavy on solenoid and see if it works, and if so you need to replace solenoid? ( WARNING WITH WHEELS OFF GROUND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS OF HIGH REV'S TO DESTROY A MOTOR )
