On-topic response: I know of no one who only has golf cart transportation.

Slightly off-topic response: We are a two-car, one cart family, although with a bit of planning and coordinating we might get by with one car and one golf cart.

More off-topic response: We find that we opt for car transportation over golf cart transportation far more than I originally thought we would. It's just much easier, more comfortable, and faster to run errands by car rather than golf cart. We use our golf cart primarily for golfing, an occasional jaunt to Sumter Landing (but never to Spanish Springs - takes too long from Hemingway) and occasional joy rides, but that's about it.

NJblue already said what I would say and said it better.

Great Topic. My wife and I have been discusing this topic now for a few months. Since we are still in the dreaming stage, we do not have to rush our decision...I was leaning towrdes 2 carts no car. After reading everybodys posts, I now lean to 1 car & 1 cart. I guess i started to have tunnel vision dreaming of the villages and forgot that there is other things to do outside TV. Never said I was the brightest...

Yep... Our plan was and has been 1 car and 2 carts. We love to explore, but I was also thinking that maybe as we got older we might not want to explore as much, or maybe shouldn't explore so much (if you get my drift). So... I was wondering how many people, if any, actually got rid of the car and just did the cart thing!!!

I think if we find that we just aren't taking it out more then once every couple of months... it's time to dump it. But who knows.... *shrugs*

As snowflakes, we drive down in a car and keep a golf cart at our TV home. When we become frogs, we'll sell our second car and buy a second cart. No car? No way.
