I will probably have a problem since my wife has Dementia and I have a heart problem and have a handicap card. If there are 3 carts do I, since I have a Spectator, have to ride on the cart path? They should make an exception for the handicapped and allow them to ride at the 90 degree rule. This is my only enjoyment in the Villages and at almost 92 years old I feel the powers to be should have a little compassion for the golfers with disabilities and grant them this privilege. I play in the afternoons every day and this should not be a problem.

This is a senior community with over 100,000 residents. A very significant portion of them have disabilities. There are accommodations for CAP players already, but there are also guidelines that disabled golfers must abide by. Here they are:
Applies only to the individual(s) with the CAP card.
Parking of golf cars on the slopes/surrounds of any green is prohibited.
Golf cars must be kept a minimum of 10 yards from Greens.
Do Not Park in front of Greens.
Avoid areas between the green and bunkers.
When conditions warrant and the course has been designated Cart Path
Only, ALL golfers including those with CAP cards must adhere to the cart
path only restrictions
The rules are pretty reasonable considering that as a golfer, it's assumed you have SOME ability to move around freely, even if walking many steps might be difficult.
