That will be really handy. I mean....have you driven thru Newell? It's a long way from anywhere except Sawgrass but if some retail crops up in that location it'll be super sweet.

It's all relative, Newell is less than 2 mi Sawgrass. So just 6 min longer to Brownwood by cart.

Newell is less than 2 mi Sawgrass. So just 6 min longer to Brownwood by cart THAN FROM SAWGRASS.

The original post was poorly worded.

People who don't live here (yet) may not have a feel for how close things are. Once your in a golf cart, a couple of miles is just few more minutes.
