Drive A Golf Cart?

Are you and your family golfers? Because of our balmy
weather, many people in Palm Beach County enjoy the links
year-round. And in some of our communities, a golf cart can be
a convenient way to get around! So, it is important to be aware
and understand the rules of the road when it comes to golf carts.
