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.

It was a generic "I"

What is so hard about this?

I "choose" not to swim laps, but it doesn't give me the right to turn a sports pool into a wading pool

Someone may "choose" not to play golf, it doesn't give them the right to turn the course into a dog park or walking trail.

Pretty simple, huh?

Here's another simple concept: Instead of pleading your case on TOTV, where all you're likely to get is blowback, try contacting golf course management to get the rules changed. At the very least they will explain to you why they made the rules the way they did.

PS: "Good neighbors" don't violate the rules of the community by doing their own "thing"
