It is difficult to tell if this is a problem; if your tee time request is rejected you do not really know if long term guests had anything to do with your not getting a tee time.

This is exactly the type situation that prompted the formation of the focus group that proposed making some changes. The changes proposed did not target legitimate guest IDs, only system abuses like these. The snowbirds renting outside TV are not the problem; the residents getting them the passes are. If they are renting for the winter, they are technically residing in FL temporarily and not eligible guests if they are within the tri-county area. The other poster is right...get names and then call and report it.
