I get it, giving up the independence of driving is very difficult and I dread the day when I have to make that decision and will probably stay behind a wheel longer than I should.

To make matters worse, Villagers have a revolving door of visitors driving golf carts who don’t understand the intricacies of using a golf cart as a form of transportation versus driving on a golf course. There is definitely a steep learning curve for new Villages when it comes to learning how to get around safely via golf cart, and visitors typically are out of here before they figure it out.
Totally agree. Some newbies & guests seem to presume that “golf cart community” means carts can drive anywhere. No education is given to cart rental guests either. Need it.
