With all the rain, there are areas of casual water on the courses that can be fairly deep, so use caution when driving near them
Now, before everyone piles on, the gentleman in the photo DID NOT do the obvious. He is a very nice elderly man who hit his ball at the edge of the water, where it was actually pretty dry. He pulled his cart up next to it, then leaned over to grab the ball and with the weight shift his cart slid down sideways into the middle which was about 1 1/2 feet deep. I first caught a glimpse of him struggling to push the cart out, since the drive belt was saturated and wouldn't engage. With help, the cart was extricated. I had called community watch and we were able to push the cart off the course and through my yard out to the street, and at that point the drive engaged. A Happy Ending!. Take home message----do not get near these "puddles"
