Default Is this asbestos?

I work at a golf course. In the building where the golf carts are stored there is a yellow-looking insulation that is hanging along the walls and ceiling around the entire room. The building is old; I think it was built prior to the 1970s. Is this asbestos? I am not sure, but I would like to confirm if it is. Here is a picture I took today:

lookd like fibreglass insulation to me. But you might want to play it safe and take a small sample for testing. Remember to wet down the spot you want to have sampled!
