I have a difficult time getting around and thought this would be something that I could enjoy at our home without having to travel to one of the country clubs. I hope you are proud of yourself and your smartypants comments at my expense.....

Muncle - thank you for posting the picture - that is quite a putting green. A little larger that I would want but it is beautiful. Thanks for the information.
2cats,

If you read this forum long enough, you will see that Fumar pokes fun at many of us as well as himself. I don't see it as bitter or sarcastic - but that is just my opinion.

As for RSH, I think he was making a point that there are some good putting greens that we already support with our amenity fees. I don't know where he lives, but the putting green at Turtle Mound is particularly attractive and also less crowded than most as few golfers playing the sister course (Sandhill) cross Buena Vista. If he is in that part of Duval, this may be just about in his backyard.

That being said, I would love a putting green - and Munc's is rather nice. If you do put one in, I hope you will posy a picture. I will be green with envy!
