We took our 14-year-old grandson to the Camp Villages golf cart safety course. It was run by the Sumter County Sheriff's Department and was very informative, both for the grandkids and the grandparents.

What many grandparents may not know is that if an underage driver is caught (and, yes, there are 2 deputies on the watch for golf cart violations), a ticket will be issued and someone goes to court about it. Most likely the grandparents. However, if no one shows up, they issue the underage driver a driver's license, then immediately suspend it and add points to their record. That way, when they try to get a driver's license in their home state, this record will appear and they will have to deal with it. "Thanks a lot, grandma and grandpa!!"
