Very simple. I put it in my pocket along with the key to the golf cart.

Get a mini unit at Amazon and clip it to a keychain along with your cart key. Keep both in your pocket.

Garage opener..do what you feel comfortable with. I take mine with me. Just because someone lives in TV does NOT make them honest.

So easy to pocket it when you go to any place but convenient when you're in the cart. 👍

Mama is waiting at home with a rolling pin if you've been out drinking. Im sure she'll open the garage as you skid in
if it's papa he'll do it after the football play is over
the longest you might wait is for the commercial break

I’m assuming everyone carries a key for their house with them? Why wouldn’t you use the key to get into the house, and open the garage door from inside? Seems to me taking opener with you is one more way to lose it.

I have a plastic tray mounted over the steering wheel near the roof of the cart and have Velcroed my door opener on the tray, out of site.

Not sure if this is allowed.

Not sure if anyone posted this, I read all the post on page 1 and some others following but a simple option to look at is upgrading the garage door opener to use wireless communication with a program on yours and your spouse’s smartphone. Everyone carries a cell phone these days wherever they go. No remotes to steal and simple, get home, pull your cell phone out and press a few buttons on your phone and garage door opens. Problem solved. See more info here: Retrofit Your Garage Door Openers to Work With Wi-Fi | Family Handyman
