    There was a 60+ yr old came out accusing me of not signing out the golf cart, i showed him it was signed out cool. Second kid comes out maybe 13 years old starts accusing me of not paying for the cart, everything was paid online. Then whoever the frat lookin guy in the pro shop who gave me the rentals comes out and starts accusing me of the same shit. Wasn't resolved till my party had to say I was with them. Didn't receive an apology just got excuses. Course was alright to play on though, cart path sucks a little. Id rather go to top golf instead of this cow pasture.
