Default New Village Announced

Today The Villages has announced the latest new village to be constructed in the southern area. It will be built entirely on the median of the Florida turnpike. Exciting features will include 24/7 golf cart access to the Okahumpka Service Plaza with KFC, Wendy’s and Dunkin’ and Tesla EV chargers. The rec center will have snow cone machines enabling residents to pelt passing 18 wheelers with snow balls. The executive golf course will feature longer holes with narrow fairways and no doglegs. A unique golf cart elevator will be constructed at the Bexley bridge providing connectivity to the rest of the Southern Oaks area. Watch for further updates in the Daily Sun and Goldwingnut videos.

Will golf balls on Turnpike be classed as Out of Bounds, or same as a Water Hazard?

I think the turnpike noise will be a non-starter for some people.

If it lands on the turnpike, you have to play where it lands. There is a new asphalt wedge at all the CC shops

Not only that, but under the rules, if an 18-wheeler (outside agency rule) knocks the ball 2 miles down the turnpike while it was still moving, you have quite a comeback shot. Of course, if it came to rest first, you can replace it with no penalty (other than getting flattened by the next 18-wheeler. In either case, you can have a Dave's triple in your tummy at the time

I have also heard that any of the residence of the new village will have unlimited free turnpike access.

Just saw them breaking ground on the new Village from the Workmen Shuttle bus. When the excavator swung around the backhoe it almost grazed the side of the bus, then it almost hit the overhead power lines.
