TV and Your Wheels [Transportation]
Because of the convenient use of Golf carts in TV, how many of you residents (couples) have downsized to one car and bought 1 or 2 golf carts to putter around?
Please note if you are a part-timer or a single resident. |

Your poll is interesting, but leaves out at least some choices...those without any golf carts. YES, there are some in that category, and I, for one, would be interested in seeing that statistic. Is there any way to modify your poll to include those who don't own a golf cart?

Good point.
It does not appear that poll questions can be added after they are created. |

We tried just using one car, but due to Ron's travel for his volunteer work, we are frequently in different places at the same time. I only wish they weren't black! If we'd known we were coming here, my car would be white. |

You sound suspicious.
I have noticed that many retirement communities use golf carts. I assumed that the use was more related to golf and there was a secondary benefit of using it for transportation. Now I am wondering if it is the other way around. I was also a little interested in how others have made certain decisions and why. Hoping for some comments too. |

We are full time. We have two golf carts and one car. Seldom use the car. We go everywhere in the golf cart - grocery shopping, doctors appointments, movies, out to dinner etc. Of course when we leave the villages we use the car but for all in villages travel we go by cart. Have a heater for cold weather and a fan for hot weather. We have a neighbor who has no car. Doesn't feel they need one. Use airport van to go to the airport, we went to Disney with them, we drove they paid or gas and packing. They rent a car for vactions.

When we moved here we had a Chevy Tahoe. One of the first things we did was buy a golf cart. A year or so later we downsized the SUV & bought a chevy HHR. Not too long after we bought a second cart and that's where we are today.Really the only time we use the car is when we are going outside the villages.We both use our carts inside the villages no matter the weather, distance ,or extra time it may take to get where we want to go. I'm a firm believer that if you don't experience this community in a golf cart then you're not getting the full benefits of living here! JMHO ...By the way I bought a new cart the last week of November & I already have 4400 miles on it.Just a perspective on how much I use it!

Like for everything else about TV, there are many different opinions. OP was asking for opinions, and that's mine! I am happy for everyone who loves his golf cart, and I have nothing against having them all around me. I just don't want to be in one. |

I just had my first lesson in our golf car tonight. It's not as busy here after 7pm. A perfect time for a ride. I made it up to 16mph, but not for very long. I had a ball!!! A few more lessons in the neighborhood and then I'll tackle the road and a tunnel. No hurry though. Love The Villages!!! V
