I've actually seen very few OB at The Villages that are not marked with stakes. Perhaps some home owners have removed them but TV does a very good job with their signage. And I really don't care if foursomes have their own rules about OB (I usually will just drop one on the course and hit from there with one stroke). We are discussing the OB situation and what the rules say. Education on golf rules is important. Rules are there to help the player and the game. If you choose to not follow them or make up local rules then that is what you do. As long as you are not taking money out of my pocket I really don't care. But every golfer should at least understand the basic rules. It makes for a better and faster game.
Off the subject: Do you know that the red stakes with the green tops on them are for environmental reasons? If you hit it past those stakes you are not even supposed to try and retrieve your ball. Even if you can see it in plain sight.
