I didn't know golf carts parking on grass was a problem. I thought they were designed to be on grass.

1. Driving and parking on the grass. 2. These are transportation vehicles not golf carts. Some have never been on a golf course. 3. Challenging a car at a crossing gate.

What do you say?
Do you also stop and sit at yellow flashing arrows?

OP, although I believe your “intention” is very honorable - be careful what you wish for…

When someone has a bug up their you know where, why is the founder Harold Schwartz frequently brought up? The Villages from the 1980s has no relevance to today.

NO!

MANY of us are growing weary at the continual desire by some to "task" the majority for the behavior of the few.....NO!
