My goodness, a such a sensible reply ! Never imagined (from what I've seen for so many years now) there was anyone who actually had the time to stay behind a golf cart, imagine that, hope to see it sometime. Maybe will get lucky enough also to see an individual IN a golf cart who is not in such a hurry that they will take the chance of going 22 mph to pass a cart gong 20... JUST as the cart path splits going toward Lake S. square... and after all that, taking the chance of hitting another cart, or overturning their own, they are forced to STOP at the turn into Lake S. with ALL the other carts they barely manged to pass on the path previously ! There ALL the carts are, stopped at the same stop sign. Anyone ever witnessed that ? And asked themselves what these folks get "out of it"..... most barely make it since their cart goes maybe one half, to one, mph faster than the ones they attempt to pass... then all arrive together at the square, the golf course, or the restaurant... at the SAME TIME...LOL... it's insane !
