You're correct, it is part of the Havana course! This is exactly the area I communicated with the VCDD & the Havanna CC about when I was seeking the safest path for me to take from my home to my mailbox on my mobility scooter.

The distance between my home and the mailbox is about one and a quarter mile one way and at the time I thought that it would be safer for me to use the restricted golf cart trail with a small risk of getting hit by a golf ball while between Havana Trail and Odell Circle than for me to spend part of my trip on Odell in the golf cart multi-model lane and be at risk of being hit by a golf cart or a motor vehicle.

The several people I communicated with at the VCDD and Havana CC were very nice and understood my concern. However, the bottom line is that the rules are the rules and that the paths are there for the golfers... and consequently not there for anyone to use by making their own exceptions to the rules. As such, my reducing my risks as explained above were no more of an excuse than it is for those who walk pets, take strolls in the evening or simply to enjoy the beauty of the birds in the trees!

After this all passed, I did learn that there was a short stretch of sidewalk (that I wasn't aware of) on Odell between the Odell Center and the restricted golf cart path cross-over on Odell Circle that made the Odell stretch to the mail center completely accessable by sidewalk, except for the cross-over.

After I return to TV in the fall, if you see me traveling on one of my speedy 4.5 or 5.5 mph scooters in Hadley, I'd be grateful if you didn't run me over... just smile and wave instead. I've appreciated those who have in the past and will like wise appreciate those who do in the future!
