I eventually realized - being absent-minded like that could result in someone who should NOT have a gate card, taking mine - while I had to pay for a new one.

Then I had it in my purse - but reaching for my purse, digging in to the "right" pocket to get it out, then hold it up, put it back in my purse, putting my purse back in the basket - well people are impatient. I got tired of being yelled at.

The phone sits perfectly in the cup holder of the golf cart AND in the change tray of my car, which is where I keep it when I'm driving. Easy to reach for, easy to see, easy to carry from one place to the next, easy to put in a pocket if I feel like walking and NOT bringing my pocketbook with me - my phone is always with me.

So it's a no-brainer to just have the card on the back of my phone.

I understand how this method works for you but.........hubby and I have two gate cards between us. One stays in the visor of our main car and the other gate card remains in our other car. I have never needed to use a gate card in our golf cart so we don't keep one there. I have pushed a gate button when in our cart maybe only once.
