I'm partial to air conditioning and a radio and my wife heaven forbid the wind blow her hair. I was mostly referencing the golfer, since they have no courses in Fenney.

Just imagine you have a 11:56 teetime at Cane Garden. I've gone to Lopez twice in a cart myself and it was 55 minutes each way and I'm only driving 11 miles from Tamarind Grove. The third time I played Lopez I drove my car and rented a cart. Back to my scenario, you've loaded up the clubs in the Village of Fenney for your 16 mile cart ride to Cane Garden, teetime 11:56, better allow 90 miles for travel plus add check-in time and practice putting, I'll leave at 10am.

Arrive Cane Garden 11:30, go pay and putt and tee off at 11:56. Finish round at 4:15, no time for the 19th hole, head back to Fenney 90 minutes, arrive home 5:45. So 18 holes of golf and you've been in your cart from 10am to almost 6pm, you've driven 32 miles plus the 5 miles during the round and you swung your golf clubs about 90 times and weathered the 90 degree heat and the ocassional rain shower. To me, that's not fun golf it's not even golf, I'd be asking to heck with the bridge, when are you building a golf course in Fenney?
so true.....,driving with a purpose is much different than driving for the heck of it...
