Effective 1/1/21 current RA system is fazed out. In order to get similar privileges it will be necessary to get a Florida Handicap Placard with all that entails.

Additionally, I understand that restriction for proximity to greens and tees under the new system will be less advantages than at present.
Interested if anyone can shed further light on this subject.
