A good friend here works at a golf course as a starter/ranger. Called today and wanted me to play. I asked him if the course would allow people their own golf cart, I would pay the cart fee. He said "no way, we'd run out of carts in an hour. " Even if I trusted who I was with, you never know who is a carrier of this mysterious disease. Of course he went on to say how many people have recovered ( with possible lung damage for life ) and we only have 50 cases here in Bueafort County. I know he thinks I'm being a big wuss but I just can't see any reason to take the chance for a free round of golf.
Be smart and safe.
I'm new to golf started last September. I enjoy it so far but if I never played another rounda again I wouldn't really care. Ok I digress, here in The Villages the standard now seems to be each player take their own golf cart or you can walk the course with a hand cart. In my neighborhood there is a weekly golf scramble. People are still playing in the weekly scramble. I don't enjoy golf enough to put myself to take the risk.
And to quote Don "Do not touch the flag pole. All short putts are "gimmies".
Most people who live here own golf carts whether they golf or not since it doubles as a mode of transportation so there isn't a problem of enough carts to go around.
