The New Carts Are Here!


April 12, 2003

The new golf carts have arrived!  After some very successful negotiating on the part of our General Manager, Lake Forest just received an entire fleet of new, green, Yamaha golf carts.  These are beautiful machines that we will be able to enjoy for four years at which time we will arrange for another contract. This is the second consecutive lease program in which Lake Forest has participated.  Previously the association had owned its own carts and had to deal with all the maintenance and service headaches that went with them.  After a long study by a previous board and our management, a conclusion was reached that the association would not only save money but would also be able to consistently provide the very highest quality of golf carts by switching to a lease program. 

As part of the contract, Lake Forest also arranged for one special cart to be provided to the city for use at school athletic events as an ambulance.  This is part of our ongoing efforts to promote community cooperation between the association and the city, county and State governments.  So, when Lake Forest members see an injured athlete being carried to medical treatment on that machine, they can take pride in the fact that it is an example of the contribution that the Lake Forest Property Owner's Association makes to the community.
