We live in LaBelle North. Going south to play some of the executive courses will be much quicker when the Southern Oaks bridge opens. The same will be true for those that live in some of the south Villages who want to play courses up north.

Thinking of going back to NYC by golf cart. Anyone want to drive us?

Would supply a months worth of snacks.

Very rarely would I even consider driving one hour in my car to go play golf. I sure wouldn't ride in my golf cart for one hour (each way) to play golf. Do many people actually ride that far in their golf cart to play golf? That sounds more like the Iron Butt Challenge to me.

As the crow flies probably 10 Miles. There are not any straight roads(and cart paths) in TV

I put in a foursome every week, none of us are priority members. Bonifay (Destin to Ft. Walton) is probably one of favorite 18s and it's been my first choice the last three weeks. I was 6 days in advance and requested 11:56 to 1:29. One week I had Evans Prairie (Osprey to Egret) as my second choice and last week we had Belle Glade (Calusa to Tequesta) which was my second choice again, both times I got the second choice.

What's with golfers not wanting to play Belle Glade or Evans Prairie but they really want to play Bonifay, because I can't get on. Please put in for BG or EP so I can get on Bonifay, or maybe go even further north to Palmer and Mallory you can get on. Havana being in such terrible condition and with (Kenya) closed, that eliminates one of my favorite choices. You new people, give Havana a try, you'll like it.

Here is Belle Glade, doesn't that look Great!!

Must be tons of golf balls waiting to be fished out.

They must get big from eating either golf balls or guys in wet suits.

In my golfing days had a very long scooper and never purchased golf balls.

It takes me about an hour to get to Brownwood and I look forward to continuing all the way to Fenney. Can’t wait to do it. I have been over 2 of the bridges and will get over the 3rd in a couple weeks.

Just as a "huh how about that?" kind of trivial trivia:

Those seated shopping carts at Publix move faster in reverse than they do forward.

This has been your daily trivia drive-through, sponsored by the letter M and the number 4.

Carry on.

I think the answer is probably maybe. Part of the drive is enjoying the outside, views and wildlife. Our group (usually 20 - 24) will drive to Glenview, Tierra del Sol without hesitation. Lopez might be a car and cart rental depending on the day. The key is having a cart with seats that don't require an Iron Butt.
