From another Jerry .............. I live in TV and in Marion County. I DON'T play golf yet some of my amenities money goes toward the upkeep of the courses. I DON'T play pickleball, tennis, et al but part of my amenities goes toward upkeep of those facilities also. I know nothing anything about polo nor am I interested so I DON'T go there either yet part of my amenities go towards up keep of that place also. I could go on abou baseball fields, town squares and the like but you get the idea.
Perhaps if the percentage of money I pay through my amenities thing for stuff I won't ever need or use, you could put that amount of monies towards your friend's fees as he does use thse facilities.
I guess if your a golfer, it's important. To me, I could care less if they come from two blocks or 200 miles away. Sure gives a twist to "Florida's
Friendliest?? Home Town though dosen't it?
Gives the folks going back home a real piece of cannon fodder to tell their friends. I won't ramble cause I'll get in trouble again.
