The Annual Golf Cart Parade rolls in on Dec. 11

ROLLIN' THUNDER

The annual Holiday Golf Cart Parade, sponsored by the Rollin’ Thunder Golf Cart Club, with the assistance of the Golden Rain Foundation, will be held on Saturday, Dec. 11. The route, beginning and ending at Clubhouse 6, will cover most of LW’s main thoroughfares and larger residential streets. Parade formation will be at 4 p.m. to add those last– minute seasonal decorations and lights. Golf carts will roll at 4:30 p.m. In the event of rain, snow, sleet or hail, the parade will be postponed to Friday, Dec. 17. Parade participants are asked to bring finger food (no desserts) to Clubhouse 6 prior to the parade. This delicious collection of refreshments will then be available at the parade’s conclusion.

Electric cart batteries should be fully charged, and gasoline carts should have full gas tanks. The parade’s slow speed and frequent starts and stops can quickly drain a cart’s power.

The route will begin in Clubhouse 6 and will roll through St. Andrews Drive to turn left on Interlachen. Then, the parade will snake around the flagpole on Sunningdale and continue up Del Monte Drive, through Northwood Road to El Dorado. The group will then turn around on Canoe Brook Drive to drive back up El Dorado and will turn right on Oakmont Drive. The cart drivers will finish with a loop on St. Andrews, driving from Kenwood Road, back to Clubhouse 6.

For more information, call club President Tom Davies at (562) 431-6859.
