With everything closed down in The Villages, I would think that those who claim to want to make this a great place to live should be looking for creative ways to safely improve our lifestyle in these trying times rather than just ways to clamp down on it. I'm sure that walking on a golf course cart path after the golfers are gone has got to be one of the safest things one can do here - certainly safer than walking on the sidewalk which necessitates crossing sometimes busy streets. It is also far safer than walking on a multi-modal path with golf carts speeding by - yet no one has any problem with that.

Sorry this response is so late. How about this, a golf course is NOT a public park, dog park, polo field or off-road mud-buggy play area. Therefore, you should NOT be there unless you have checked in with the starter and been sent onto the course to play golf.
I would like to believe you are smart enough to understand this. Sadly, far too many folks either are too dumb to understand while others just pretend they don't understand.
