Golf Changes as of 10/12/2020..... Phase 3 Coronavirus Guidelines

[dlzdhz]

Just saw yesterday that moving forward with updated Phase 3 Coronavirus guidelines..... included in the guidelines is mandatory sharing of golf carts again.
I wonder how everyone feels about sharing a golf cart with a friend/ neighbor/ stranger while enjoying a round of golf??

I am wondering why The Villages is rushing to implement the new guidelines, and not waiting to see the statistics that the updated guidelines are working? And not moving in the wrong direction??

How come The Villages is not taking into consideration the many health issues our population has, and the repercussions of their mandatory sharing of golf carts can have on our health?? We all know Coronavirus can be life threatening in combination with various underlying conditions.

Please send your concerns/ displeasure to Mr. Richard Baier, as the decision to implement the changes was his.

From what I can understand, no one is forcing anyone into a cart with a stranger.
You can still use your own cart solo, stick to cart path, and walk to your ball to play it. How hard is that?
Why create a drama over it.

Not mandatory. You paid your trail fee, you can drive your cart.

I have an RA because I have difficulty walking from the cart path to the Green. This is insane. Are they trying to kill more Villagers than Covid is already doing?

After Jan 1 your RA will be useless and will need to have a DMV HANDICAP STICKER for accommodations

I believe you are spot on. They can encourage you to ride together and I will with my wife and a couple of other good friends we have over for dinner frequently, however, for obvious reasons not with a stranger or acquaintances. For health reasons you were allowed to ride single before Covid 19 and I’m sure it will be the same now. Fore.

Lets see. How will this affect speed of play? What shall we tell the Ambassador who tells us to pick up the pace?

Do as you are told.
Ignore him.
Throw a fit and have a tantrum.
Dont spend 5 minutes checking distance, club selection and pin position, when you know if you hit the biggest club in the bag, you still wont reach the green.
The options are limitless!

This is the same rule as before the virus. You can take 4 carts out, only 2 can be on the fairway at one time. So on an executive course, you only have to do that on the par 4’s, as carts aren’t on the fairways for the par 3’s. Same as before. On the championship yes you can have 4 carts, only 2 on fairways. Not hard to figure out how to do that. You are not forced to ride with a stranger. If you can’t walk to your ball, then you work it out with your foursome to be one of the carts on the fairway.
