2 carts per foursome starting Oct. 10
 

The Villages golf courses are going back to only 2 carts per foursome on Oct. 10. I think it is a terrible idea! This pandemic is far from over! You can't social distance in a golf cart.

Also the PVC in the holes will be gone (Yea!) and rakes will be back in the bunkers.

I agree, terrible idea. If I am forced to ride with a complete stranger, who I have no idea what safety precautions and risks they are taking, I will not play.

Like masks it should be an individual decision.
Surprising, premature move by the risk adverse decision makers.

Just curious. Where has this been posted? If it's true they're putting a big risk on people forcing them to share carts with others they don't know. Too early in my opinion.:ohdear:

Where did you hear this - not on TV golf website

Totally agree, way too early. Just yesterday there were 117 people testing positive in the Tri-County area. The numbers are going up in Fl. Not only would you be brain dead to get into a cart with someone you don’t know, what about the reckless disregard of safety protocol among people who allegedly know each other? Is the alternative not to play golf, or would it be prudent to show up at the starter gate with four carts? This is a decision that deserves a strong push back.

2 per cart
 

They should make it optional. They also might want to consult their legal advisor. Require someone to ride with a stranger and that person gets the virus, the Dan Newlins of the world may find The Villages liable.

I got the information from an ambassador. He was given a memo advising him of the change.

There are people now who will ride to a golf course in a car with 3 other people, and then each get their own cart to social distance. The people at the courses are not ogres, if you do not want to ride with a strange you can ride by yourself. The fewer carts then less wear an tear on the paths, the less mileage on the carts, the less gas the carts use. These are cost saving factors which help keep the cost of cart rentals low.

I seriously doubt that this will be mandatory. It was never mandatory in the past. If I registered as a single golfer, I took my own cart. No one ever required strangers to ride together. Let's not take this info too seriously.

just for info. it's 2 carts allowed in the fairway and 2 in the rough... it's ok with me the guys I golf with can't hit the fairway anyway

I am not renewing my PRIORITY MEMBERSHIP. But reserve my option to renew if policy changes!

Things won't change. People will be able to drive their own cart. Just stay on the path.

ON WHAT COURSE???? The ambassador on this forum, Krazorback...He hasn't mentioned it.


Somebody call golf course management. This is not good.

Most golfers own their carts.
