First of all, I don’t think the operators of the Villages are trolling TOTV to get ideas on how to run things.
Not sure what you’re talking about.

This is the ultimate Free Market Idea.
The current system is very New York/Californiaish. We are paying a government agency a fee (i.e. a tax) and they are taking care of golf for us.

There are hundreds of posts here about bad Executive Golf Conditions. Most suggestions are to complain to the Development Districts and have the government make the courses nicer/more playable.
What happened at Palmetto? Government shut if down and is cleaning it up.

What this suggestion is, if you want GREAT executive conditions, let the free market decide, let the user pay.

The NORTH OF FLORIDA approach is to ask big government to pay.
