Not that familiar with Bonita Pass and Redfish Run, but show me a tree on Pelican or Bacall that would cause a problem like those stated in the report. Pelican MAYBE on holes 7 & 8, but does Bacall even have a tree on it? I think the POA Bulletin made a good point about The Villages now building homes first and Golf Courses, Rec Centers, etc. AFTER homes are inhabited as opposed to when the amenities were built first THEN the houses were built. All those golfers South of 44 have to come up North to play golf and that puts higher than normal traffic on the courses between 44 and 466.
