Sexist much?

BTW, you just described my wife...

Oh, and to stay on topic, you can buy a external battery pack for $20 that will recharge your phone multiple time before it needs re-charging...

Amazon.com

You can purchase similar ones for whatever charging ports your current phone has...

My phone doesn't need recharging. I know how to get as far as Kristine without having to resort to a GPS, and my phone is brand new. Because - as a sexist woman - I have to think about stuff like that, and plan in advance. And better yet - I know how to post on a forum and ask people for access to printed directions, which someone kindly provided. Us sexist women folks are resourceful like that.

Nice rant. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with my comment...

But arguing a point a man never made is typical for a woman...

See how that works?:spoken:

It makes me wonder if keeping an old junkie phone that half works and claiming to get lost very easily is nothing more than creating plausible deniability for staying away from home longer/more often. Why someone would choose to stay away from home so much is anyone's guess 🤷

My guess....there are many on here specifically, who look forward to their significant other leaving for the day (gender blind). Two things I subscribe to....separation is the secret to longevity and (from an unlikely source....Jessica Simpson) the secret to a relationship is separate bank accounts! :1rotfl:

So - does anyone have DIRECTIONS to the golf course from the Spanish Springs area? Or even from Sumter Square, since we know how to get there just fine.

I understand to go Morse Blvd, take whatever tunnels get you around the roundabouts, south south south...

But I also know to get to Kristine something, because you can't go further on Morse by golf cart and have to use Kristine to get to some bridge that goes over 44. Only one of us is going.

GPS gives live instructions, but not printable directions. I need printable directions, and they have to include the lead-up and instructions on how to get to this Kristine Way/Road bypass, and the name of the bridge that he has to go over, and everything from that point on.

Google maps using bicycle option is useless because it says to ride ON the roundabouts, which you can't do in a golf cart, and I'm not familiar enough with signage and tunnels and bypasses down there and would totally spend a lot of time being lost.

How about just use maps or Waze and DRIVE your car..save yourself and hour

pretty sure i would not travel that far in a golf cart, unless i was in a 4 seater facing forward in the back 2 seats with a cocktail ,,and a driver who knew where he was going
