Heard a cart but never expected two abreast from behind.

“Can’t slow down for a walker in case of a stumble, ‘cause i would lose all that time/distance of trying to pass that slower cart!”

Welcome to Snowbird Season!
The VHA has a Golf Safety class every third Wednesday at 9AM at Colony Cottage (no fee, no reservation - just a Villages ID). Unfortunately, that driver doesn't know or care about this incident so this is for others - not him or her.

PLEASE STOP BASHING SNOWBIRDS! (I am here year-round. BTW)
