Agree. One time last winter, four of us went to play at Hibiscus. The rec center was closed for maintenance, and nobody had put balls out on the courts. My husband and the other guy went over to Miona to get a couple of balls off of their court. Two. balls. When they walked on, that 5.0 group was playing at the far end, and they actually asked them (in a not nice way) why they came onto the court. And not all the courts were taken, so it wasn't like, "We're full up." Only one player was decent to them after they explained why they were there.

I wouldn't go near that bunch. The one time we did play while they were playing, they made so much noise you couldn't hear yourself think. Also, they leave balls all over the court when they're done. Too much entitlement going on there.
