I was careful to not accuse anyone of anything because I don't know for sure. I did mention that I saw gate cards being shared between two different Golf Carts. This has happened several different times. The people look at you as if they are intimidating you while they are doing the card sharing. If I'm gonna get down over an issue, this isn't the one I would choose. When I've been asked for my card by a stranger I just point to my ears, shrug and drive away.

The Gate is constructed differently than most. It is a square white ALUMINUM GATE that is very slow to open and close on the articulated arm that folds inward. That in itself sends most people into orbit. My answer would be a substantially heavier gate that would damage anything that ran into it and was impossible to be disassembled. Aluminum can be manipulated by some of the customers who are legit or otherwise. I like the picture dewilson58 supplied but imagine the cost would be through the roof.

I don't know the answer. I'm just reporting the news. Not making the news. My answer would be a very unpopular one if I owned the joint but I'll hold it back for now. What a shame that adults can't be trusted to do the right thing when nobody but a camera is looking. I guess it's the way of the world to do what feels good now instead of what is the right thing to do. Shameful.
