Default Lifestyle's Stay

OK, we just came back from our first lifestyle experience. The 13th thru the 17th. It was a very enjoyable time, but I have ended up with more questions then I started with. And I really haven't gotten any answers from our sales rep (Mike Joy)
Are the sales reps assigned for life ? We first met up with Mike 2 years ago when friends were buying a house, and it looks like we are now assigned to him forever. That sounds very "Big Brother" if they have a file on me and a permanent sales rep, and I don't even live there.
Can you go for more lifestyle experience's I couldn't get an definite answer from anyone. We are local ( 63 miles from our driveway to Katie Belle's) and as we both still work we aren't ready, nor can we afford to move just yet. But we have a lot of vacation and taking it in the Villages with friends seems to be the answer.
If I rent from someone other than the Villages will I be allowed to use the amenities ? We don't golf, so tee times aren't a concern. We did try a driving range Thursday, how do you hit that damn ball ?
All in all it was a very enjoyable experience, we took my 85year old mother, she was exhausted after the first 2 days, and we intend to just sit around home this weekend.
We rented a golf cart from "Villages Golf Cart Man" at LaGrande Plaza, $100.00 for a week, for a fully equipped cart, unlike some other places that don't have weather covers on the carts. ( I have no connection to this person, other than a satisfied customer).
