But you go to a Internet forum and ask how to make friends at the pool?

I don’t think the OP asked how to make friends, but for ideas on being acknowledged at the pool. Maybe already had a lawn company and it’s not that tough to buy a golf cart and hopefully he did do diligence on the bond. Not everyone buys here blind. But the pool question no one can research or due diligence, because you won’t know that until you step in the gate. Since you have started posting in 2010, maybe you have not had the bad experience at neighborhood pools
Maybe you live might be in a new area, or an area where the many homes have been sold, But if you move to an established area like we did, pool people can be very Territorial and sometimes just outright mean. For us we just go to a CC pool, no high school drama there. Even our adult children refuse to use the adult pool here, because of the issues.
Some established neighborhoods are not happy that houses have been sold and new people have moved in and they definitely don’t want the new people anywhere near THEIR POO! And can be very vocal. Since 07 we have run into territory pool issues at 2 neighborhood pools. It’s not a lot, however the experiences can be hard for a new person moving in.
