It will still be a while until it is opened - for safety reasons because of the big off-road dump truck running around the area. A 100-ton truck vs. a 650 lbs. golf cart, would not be pretty.

If someone gets hurt or a golf cart breaks down and can't be towed out the crying will begin, and then they'll try to blame the developer. Never stops amazing me how careless people can be, as we used to say when I was in the Navy - The stupid shall be punished.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
