Questions:

1. Do they allow golf carts on the executive courses in TV?

2. Are all the executive courses par 3 courses? Do they include par 4 holes?

3. Are there both mens days and ladies days on executive courses or only for the country club courses?

1. Yes
2. Executive courses are mostly par 3's, with 1 or 2 shortish par 4's on most (all?) courses.
3. Yes.

Golf carts must stay on cart paths on par threes and may drive on grass on par fours on executive courses.

There is some abuse of the handicap privilege by able bodied folks on golf courses just as there is in parking but not much can be done about that. .

Interested to see why you ask.

You do know that if you walk the 9 hole courses there is no charge at all for residents. If you drive your golf cart there is a trail fee of four dollars.

Or, you can pay an annual golf cart trail fee for the executive courses of about $145.

It's like any handicap sticker you don't know how handicapped a person is unless you get inside their head. A person may seem to be perfect when you look at them but if you know them then you would find out that they just had heart surgery or have MS or have had 3 back surgeries but this doesn't show on the outside of a person. I would never make assumptions about someone with a handicap sticker just by looking at them and certainly not say that people are abusing handicap stickers because we just don't know their circumstances. Many people who have them wouldn't be able to even play golf without one.

I don't think anybody quarrels with those in need of handicap allowances.

The issue is, in TV, there are many, too many that in fact do abuse the priviledge.

[Challenger]

The issue for me is not those who really need handicap priviledges, but those who abuse them. The buffer around greens and bunkers is 15 feet.I have frequently observed many who park or ride within inches of these areas. Some are highly insulted when you call this to their attention. As always ambassadors remain mute.

How would you know that? You can't tell when you look at a person.

Ask people who know me if I am compassionate toward disability.

[alanmcdonald]

I have had the opposite experience.

I was walking back to my cart after hitting a shot on an executive course and the ambassador came up to me and asked if I needed handicap privileges.

I declined the kind offer.
