Rhode Island has really progressive bathroom laws, last enacted in 2022.
The first bill (2021-H 5741, 2021-S 0755) makes single-user restrooms in public places non-gender specific. The bill amends the state building code to require that any single-use restroom in a public building or place of public accommodation be available for use by persons of any gender by January 1, 2022. It also requires that all new construction of state and municipal buildings opened to the public after July 1 provide for a single-user restroom facility for use by persons of any gender.

"Gender-specific restrooms can cause a great deal of anxiety for members of the transgender community," said Rep. John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Tiverton, Portsmouth), bill sponsor. "The reason for that anxiety is the verbal — and sometimes physical — harassment that many of them have experienced. This bill would simply strip single-user bathrooms of any gender designation, which will go a long way toward improving the mental health of members of the transgender and non-binary community. This is an important step for the state to take in providing for the inclusion of all its residents."

The Rose Show was held at a church that had a family restroom.

Do you use motorized golf carts?  Does your bag have wheels?  Do you carry a full legal set of clubs now?
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I use a three wheel cart I bought a couple years ago that isn't motorized.
I usually bring 14 clubs, adding enough wedges to fill out the set.
I can swing a lefty wedge but rarely need it  on the courses I play now.

When I went to RI I bought my spare 7 club set. 
Driver, 5H, 7iron, 8iron,pitching wedge, sand wedge, and putter

Have you ever bought a used club or a set of clubs?  Seems like a way to save money if they would work for the buyer.

I bought a couple used ladies clubs on eBay.  Ladies don't wear out their clubs like men do so they were in excellent condition.  I don't abuse my clubs either so I've been buying like new clubs on Callaway Pre-Owned.  I bought a new 4H for just$40!

Nice catch on the 4H!

Saving money at the grocery store.
Instead of buying bacon or Canadian bacon I bought a pound of lunch meat ends for $4.
Bacon tastes good but takes more work to prepare in the morning.
I can chop up the lunch meat to make an egg omelet for breakfast.

It may make sense for those of us living alone to look for small quantities of food that spoils easily.
A local market will sell me just one celery stick by the pound for my soup dishes.
I freeze ginger in a plastic bag and shave off what I need in a microplaner.
Onion for soups may also be chopped up and frozen.

I like to shop for sales.  Holiday sales can be really good.

I have a three wheel non electric trolley but in all honesty I rarely used it. I just carried the clubs as it's less hassle and you can just walk straight across greens instead of having to go round. I haven't played for a good 4 or 5 years though, I've lost a lot of strength since then. it might be a bit much for me now.

Buying second hand clubs is definitely the way forward if you're new to the game or don't have the funds for new. I have bought second hand and the clubs have been excellent. Golf is a funny one, People with money are always convinced that all they need to do is buy the latest gear and that will improve their game, so there is always a healthy market for nearly new golf gear. I play with the same set of irons I bought when I was 21 and they were a rubbish make back then too! I can still hit the ball same as anyone else!
A wise man once said don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, that way when you judge him you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
