(probably about 20 on the straight, 17 in the corners, and even less approaching intersections)

I don't travel that way often in a golf cart because I'm in Poinciana, so I'm not very familiar with the route. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm estimating from my map app that the distance is around 7 miles.
At 20mph that would take 21 minutes, assuming you never slowed down for intersections, or curves, or pedestrians, or bicyclists. 21 minutes.
Assuming you got "stuck" behind someone who was going 20 for half that distance, and the other half of that distance was only going 15 mph, for curves, and approaching intersections, that would add a whopping 3.5 minutes to the trip.
And that assumes you never slowed down from 20 (the speed limit) for anything at all and that you followed this cart for the entire trip.
3.5 minutes.
Am I missing something here? This doesn't seem like it should be all that painful.
