I will not go on to private property to get a ball. But if I can stand on the course an reach the ball with a 3 iron, I will retrieve it. I have never lived on a golf course and have no desire to. So it constantly amazes me when those who do complain about golf balls coming into their yards. Especially here in TV where the lots are so close to the course. These people had to know what they were signing up for?
I understand your point BUT!!!!!
Here is my point; if you are not a golfer and was not told when purchasing a golf view lot, no one in the villages tells you what to expect.
Since Golf is such a prestigious game, it is also assumes it is a gentleman and lady respected sport. However you believe people are of character which is the farthest from the truth.
as a non golfer you would assume you might get golf balls on your property, but to have the disrespect of some golfers to brazenly defy the rules is not assumed.
So be careful what you assume people are aware of.
As the old saying goes you don't know what you don't know, and the Villages is not going to volunteer that information or they would not sell golf viewed lots at a very heavy premium!
Just my 2 cents!
