They should go back to gate that a golf cart can get by. Seems to me that the new gate system was talked about last year and how we were going to voluntarily go along with the new standard. Another poorly thought out thing that costs us money. And then we are paying someone to track these people down. Put a gate in that does not give and people will not hit it. Ok I am done, bring it on
Florida law does not require that cars have front license plates. You're right about having gates that allow golf carts to pass through. I like the suggestion about the "iron gate"..I have long thought that the stanchions that are at the front entrance of cart paths should be made of steel. We wouldn't be replacing so many of them and people who hit them once, won't do it again.
