I bet 10% of the residents of The Villages can hit ANY club in their bag more than 200 yards.
So a 130 yard hole, you only need a 70 yard buffer to any road.
Agree---and those of us who can hit it much longer are highly unlikely to hit the turnpike. Having played Southern Oaks at least 20 times, it's pretty hard to hit it out of bounds, and from there you have 150-250 yds until you could hit the roadway. Not going to happen.
