I don't knit, but pay for the rec centers where they have knitting class---why cant I go there and play a trumpet?

Everything we pay for has a designated purpose and rules. Individuals cannot change the purpose or the rules because "they feel like it", or it "makes sense to them", or because they pay into the pot.

Excuse me, but now I have to go dig up "my share" of the flowers in a roundabout and plant them in my yard. Oh, yes, if I was allergic to flowers I'd still be paying for them too.
Funny...I never said 'I'. I used the pronoun 'We' as in us as a community. You imply everything has a designated purpose. Not quite true.

You cannot attend kindergarten, but you are able to use the school building for outside activities when school is not in session.

You might not swim laps, but that is your own personal choice.

You don't knit, but you can join or even start up a trumpet club that is held at one of the rec centers.

So exactly how are you impacted by the current situation with someone setting foot on a golf course? Try being a good neighbor.
