My first year here, I had no golf cart and thought they were a really dumb idea since I didn't play golf and loved driving my Miata. Then, the Miata went into the shop and I borrowed my friend's cart. Was hooked ever since. It just seems to make for a friendlier liifestyle toodling around in my cart -- people are smiling more, I get to enjoy more scenery, I'm more relaxed on arrival and I've spent a lot less money getting there. The only time I don't enjoy my cart is when the weather is truly at an extreme -- very heavy rain, thunder and lightning, heat above 95.

So, no, a golf cart is not a necessity but is definitely a great asset, kind of like air conditioning -- you can live without it but why if you don't have to?
