Also the PVC in the holes will be gone (Yea!) and rakes will be back in the bunkers.
So, if you’re playing with 2 people that have RAs, then the non-RA people will have to drive on the path for all 18 holes. I’m not comfortable riding with anyone except for my husband, and he will not golf with me on ladies days! And I am not going to be the one always riding on the cart paths. I really do not want to handle a rake that someone else has used. The solution to that is a personal rake on my cart. What is going to happen if people will not touch the rake and rake the sand? Exactly what has been happening now.... messy sand traps. I assume there will be people who will refuse to touch the rake and we will see traps with foot prints. With regard to the pin, I will not touch it or remove it. I imagine other people will do the same and now we will see an increase in damage to the cup.
I find the timing of this suspect with the snowbirds coming down. Is this to please the swarms that will be coming from God knows where or do the developers anticipate a drop off by year-round residents being made up by the snowbirds?
Why were individual Golf Carts allowed on the golf courses for this long but all of a sudden they aren’t. Could it be the snowbirds?
