YOU GO ENGLISH IVY

I feel stupid for not thinking of posting the article myself. I have a scanner and read the article right beside it. LOL

The rules make sense in controlling cart traffic but still I see 3 carts on Glenview at times. 3 carts ALL going straight down the fairway! That is absurd! Save the grsss, scatter etc. I will ride alone rather than go in a cart that is allowed around the greens as less weight does less damage around the collars.

One golf bag per player is better than having wo wait until someone has used the putter and then walk all the way over to get it.

Par 3's are mostly cart path only I can't see why more than 2 carts aren't allowed

FOLKS STAY IN THE ROUGH AND ONLY PROCEED ONTO THE FAIRWAY WHEN APPROACHING YOUR BALL

Yeah right and fix ball marks, rake traps fill in divots...Like anybody does that

If they didn't do this your 135.00 fee could go to 150.00...Save the grass !

Some just don't take any kind of direction well. Others need to have their stick removed so they stop complaining about everything and begin living the TV good life.
I don't know how you could possibly word an article more sensibly than they did about the grass and still have your kind of remarks.

Your right there, so what I do is go from tee box to green and avoid the fairway altogether.
LOL

I played Redfish myself yesterday and I know what you mean. But, the good thing is that with that hard ground and a good straight drive on the lone par 4 hole you can achieve a distance to brag about. I love that "Villages roll".

We ladies played Bogart yesterday and needed 3 carts for one of our groups. The ambassador questioned three carts and I relayed to him that we were aware of the new plan to help keep what little grass there is, from more traffic...only two carts at a time on the course where it was allowed. He was pleased that we knew what was going on and told us all to have a good round and enjoy our afternoon. Since there are only two holes on the course that one can drive off the path, and the ladies in that particular group are long hitters, it wasn't a problem.
Hopefully, more rain is on the way....well, one can hope...

Original the executive courses were suppose to be for walkers only but as the villages developed the need to allow some residents to ride became apparent.

I have always complied with the 90 degree rule because to love golf is to be respectful to both golfers and the golf course.

I don't mind pairing up with another person. However I can see where someone might object for various reasons. Also there is the issue of liability. By taking on a passenger you also take on more responsibility

The Villages is noted for having residents sign hold harmless agreements. Perhaps there should be such documents at each starter shack?

I opine you decide

Since this issue has come up I've witnessed different ways this has been handled by sarters.The bottom line I've seen, is if the person questioning it raises enough cain, he gets his way. I even heard the starter at Hawkes Bay say, "Be that way", to a person who wanted to take his own cart on a cart path only, all par three course. Seems there is no room for common sense. Of course no one wants to see 4 carts charging down the middle of the fairways, but it seems that if understanding is demonstrated then accomadations should be happily allowed. I've been subjected to some wild rides when asked to ride with someone else, so now I arrive early, check in first, and insist the late arrival ride with me. Or he can fight with the starter.

Gracie, you are right about each golfer having their own clubs- they do enforce this as I found out. Apparently sharing clubs is not allowed as it slows play down.
