It appears they golf courses in TV are moving to a cashless mode along with other changes. The no visitor policy is a bummer when your son or daughter is visiting and staying in your home. I suppose we will go outside of the bubble to play should we decide to play golf. It is much safer in The Villages IMHO. Does anyone know if they are still collecting for use of golf carts by using a credit card on courses south of State Route 44?

You never know but these visitors might be coming from "Hot-Spots" locations, good move by the Villages stopping visitors from playing....

Cashless makes sense. Paper money goes from hand to hand to hand with who knows what is on it.

I agree, we rarely use cash and haven’t for years. The cash rewards given by most credit card companies is a nice bonus.

Wise move by The Villages to protect their employees. Who, by the way are residents of The Villages too. Perhaps this new process can help stream line the check-in process in the future. By having guests and renters prepay trail fees and rounds of golf on the executive courses.The Villages could issue prepaid type credit cards. The guest, renter and homeowner/landlord will still need to show a Valid Villages ID and D/L with the use of a prepaid card. This would help curb, guests, renters etc., using all the tee times.

I understand your point. These are difficult times. However, there are times when family members are necessary but I agree not necessary to play golf.

I know their family, but in a time of travel restrictions how did your son and daughter get here ?
That's why they keep saying over and over stay in in place..Yet many heed the warning

Yes they are.

As an employee and player, I am grateful for the changes and focus to keep everyone as safe as possible yet offer the opportunity to be outside for several hours enjoying the game we all love. The steps taken by the Golf and Tennis organization is right on!!

We have 2 friends young adults coming.

Before you all freak out, they are traveling via military to help give relief to staff. Not sure where they will be boots in Florida, but I promised Mom who is working ICU 16 hour plus shifts, I have plenty of time to keep in touch with them.

I have said for years that Villages should give the option to attach a credit card to your village ID. This would make the process so much simpler. By just scanning your village ID it would post your charges against the credit card on file. Local Restaurants and businesses could also then take the village ID for Payment.

It would be best if people in The Villages would stop having visitors, period. That's why this disease is spreading. Asymptomatic people are spreading this disease, and travelling just increase the possibility of exposure. I fully support TV policy on this.

If to prevent the spread of the virus why has the Developer not shut the courses down at 4 pm and prevented Visitors from golfing on His Championship Courses?

Son is a Florida resident and lives on the “space coast”. Granddaughter is a student at UCF. Still have family in Illinois, Nashville and Boston area none of which are traveling right now. Unlike my wife and I who grew up in small Midwestern towns with Grandpa, Grandma, Cousins, Aunts and Uncles close by, many of our friends and acquaintances in TV (like us) have family scattered all over the U.S. and the World. The Villages is a great place to visit (especially in the winter season) but not right now unless it’s personally necessary. We all have seen many changes during our lifetime but none of us have seen anything like a pandemic. We are, and should be, very diligent and concerned, but now is not the time to be paranoid or panic either. Anxiety and stress will only lessen your immune system not help it. Best to social distance and get some exercise anyway you can IMHO. Fore.
