If I pay my trail fee then I use my cart

This has NOTHING to do with your trail fee!

You know what you signed up for!

These complaints are by people who fail to read what they sign up for.!

Easy way, Pay as you golf.....End of story

As Pre-Covid, I'll continue to pair up with anyone in my/their cart...except a smoker. I'd rather walk than be subjected to burning tobacco exhaust. On the question of my personal Covid vaccination status, the answer will be "I've got immunity"...and not a word more.

Most executive courses never have a cart on the grass? Are you serious? The privileged/entitled here rarely stay on the cart paths; they’re all of the execs.

It gives you the right NOT to have pay every time when you ride in a cart. The two cart change is just GOING BACK to the rules before COVID. The rules then were simple if you take more then 2 carts, ONLY two can be in the fairway at a time. Folks it is THAT SIMPLE! Golfers complain about the conditions, then complain because they can't take four carts on the fairways.

Bravo! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I am soooo glad I don't play golf, too much drama! I thought the sport supposed to be fun.

I think you have to agree that no two carts ride exactly on the same path when driving to their ball in the fairway. I will probably have a problem since my wife has Dementia and I have a heart problem and have a handicap card. If there are 3 carts do I, since I have a Spectator, have to ride on the cart path? They should make an exception for the handicapped and allow them to ride at the 90 degree rule. This is my only enjoyment in the Villages and at almost 92 years old I feel the powers to be should have a little compassion for the golfers with disabilities and grant them this privilege. I play in the afternoons every day and this should not be a problem.

This is a senior community with over 100,000 residents. A very significant portion of them have disabilities. There are accommodations for CAP players already, but there are also guidelines that disabled golfers must abide by. Here they are:

Applies only to the individual(s) with the CAP card.
ο‚· Parking of golf cars on the slopes/surrounds of any green is prohibited.
ο‚· Golf cars must be kept a minimum of 10 yards from Greens.
ο‚· Do Not Park in front of Greens.
ο‚· Avoid areas between the green and bunkers.
ο‚· When conditions warrant and the course has been designated Cart Path
Only, ALL golfers including those with CAP cards must adhere to the cart
path only restrictions

The rules are pretty reasonable considering that as a golfer, it's assumed you have SOME ability to move around freely, even if walking many steps might be difficult.

Those rules actually apply to all golfers

You're better off walking if you continue to get stuck riding in someone's else's cart and they constantly can't finish the round for what ever reason. It also means no spectators allowed as well.
