Surely an off-duty officer could work a four-hour detail at the squares and receive compensation out of the funds from the refreshment stand. Even a special deputy from the Sheriff's Department could function in this capacity. The presence of a law enforcement officer can do wonders for keeping the peace at these venues.
It'll be even worse when the drunken people behave in a "disorderly" way either in their own golf cart, or sprawling over someone else's golf cart. We have Stand Your Ground laws here, and as many have pointed out, The Villages residents are a well-armed militia.
