I do not wander around my designer home complaining that I don't have everything I would have in a premier home. I golf (or did, before 2 back surgeries) on the many and varied courses available here in TV. And, no, they are not of TPC guality, but they are adequate for most of us here. They could build TPC-like courses, but they would still be destroyed by those who are not conscientious enough to protect them. Golden Ocala is a short drive away and it has replica holes from all over the world, including Amen Corner and TPC in Jacksonville is not that far away for those of you who demand better courses. I am sure when they put in all the pool tables they took into consideration that not all players would be professionals and would probably damage the tables, thus a less than professional quality was used. And for your fine dining taste, Berns in Tampa is a relatively short drive. But I was never one to spend an unreasonable amount of money for something that essentially tastes the same, just presented differently, when it all ultimately ends up in the same place. I am thankful for the many opportunities available to us here. For those less thankful for what has been provided for us here in TV, Golden Ocala is a short drive away, Jupiter, West Palm, etc are available.......

I agree with everything you said except regarding the pool tables. There are hundreds of serious pool players in The Villages, many of which are learning the game for the first time. Why shouldn't there be a process for the residents to suggest improvements in the equipment and be taken seriously by the developer? And, why isn't the developer interested in providing quality billiard equipment? The needed improvements would not cost additional money, but would greatly improve the billiard rooms. My experience is that any suggestions for improvements in the billiard rooms are almost totally ignored by the developer.
