I can totally understand wanting to walk on the golf cart path when the course is closed, just for the sake of enjoying the walk.
But the course is closed. That means - no golfing. No driving your cart, no playing. Closed. They're probably closed because they need to do various landscaping things with the grass. That requires that people NOT use it for awhile.
People complain when a course is in bad shape. Well how about - stop using it when it's closed, and give the groundskeepers a chance to get it into good shape. Or, keep it in lousy shape and stop complaining about it.
The same thing about people who think "well I have to pay a trail fee even if I'm a passenger, so I should get my own cart and drive alone" - well sure. But if everyone thought that way, there'd be a lot more problems with the courses, and they'd be whining even more about it.
I was absolutely positive that this older generation (those people in their 70's and 80's) are the ones who taught MY generation to do the right thing, simply because it was the right thing to do. Maybe they've forgotten in their old age.
