(c) Will there be more pressure on the current championship courses since not enough new ones are being built? Will it be crowded year round from now on?



(d) I'm curious how many people have said enough and are moving out elsewhere.



(e) Seems like its all about greed.

(a) Been here for a couple years, what are you seeing that is totally different??? Over the last two years there have been 5,000 new homes, a lot going to non-fulltime home owners. Less than a 10% increase.


(b) It's Florida. Again, less than a 10% increase. What were you expecting?? The Villages is much better than other populated areas in Florida.



(c) The plan for TV has not changed in the last two years since you purchased. The volume of players going forward is an unknown. Many people are coming to TV that are not coming for Championship golf.


(d) Very few.


(e) Oh, I get it now. First post, bringing up the greed word. Old-time poster, new log-on.



I agree with Bille
