Why can't residents just walk along with other residents who are golfing?
Not trying to be argumentative, but if you've ever been hit by a golf ball you'd know why. It doesn't feel real good.
One day I was playing with a guy who hit an errant shot off the tee and struck a course maintenance worker who was standing next to his mower on the far side of the cart path about 180 yards away. Hit him mid thigh and knocked him right down. And he didn't get up too quick either. Was still down when we got over to him to see how he was.
Regarding most activities, I find the Villages to be pretty laid back. You can do just about whatever you want, however you want. But no so with golf. It has fairly strict standards and protocols which are mostly there to promote the safety and enjoyment of everyone.
