Default Golfboards in the Villages?

GolfBoard

Cannot say I have ever seen one of these in the Villages but where would you put your dog, groceries, lover, etc., when out tooling around in the Squares or shopping centers.

Well I guess you'd also have to have a cart for the Mrs. and the mutt. Putting it your way....how would you tow the boat when you want to hit the water? If you can own a bike and a golf cart I'd guess this would be a nice addition and while I wouldn't mind it there are way to many people with balance, hip, knee, back and old age problems to make it really likely to be used here....and since the Morse's aren't fond of being sued...well you know...

I want one too. And if I had $6500 I didn't need, I'd get one.

BUY & LEASE

That's really expensive but suppose they will come down quite a bit if they become a commodity with a lot of competing producers.

I can hardly wait to see one hopped up to 30 mph going down a MMpath, passing a golf cart..........

Well over "18" holes or "18+" miles(depending on weight of rider, speed and terrain)...but not 18x18holes of golf....
