[QUOTE=senior citizen;564827]Our choice to buy on a golf course for the privacy out back is now in question after reading about the spraying ; just wondering if the wind is blowing a certain way, does it get into the lanai or home area?

Or, is it not a concern?

Have been following "resales" on golf courses, with land enough for a pool/birdcage.

We've been told NOT to buy near water, on water or near a nature preserve, thus the below researched newspaper article, which obviously was a long time ago, as the population of The Villages hasn't been 17,000 souls in a very long time............it all gets very complicated.

Can someone answer with regard to WHO DOES THE SPRAYING and HOW MUCH SPRAYING OF THE pesticides applied to the golf courses there is???
How often do they spray?

Everyone knows they are carcinogens........but it seemed back in the late '90s they really didn't know the exact amount which was applied??????

For those concerned with healthy diets and lifestyles, one would think they'd be concerned about "spraying"..........

Thanks in advance.........also, would anyone "share" which area of TV they think is the healthiest choice, even if it's away from a golf course....meaning not close to one./QUOTE]


at least we don't have mosquitoes, a 14 year old article written when the 'locals' began to get spooked by how fast the villages was growing wouldn't deter me. I would just say don't buy on a golf course if it will tick you off having the house hit once in awhile. nothing astounds a golfer more than someone who buys on a golf course and then gets upset when the house gets hit by a ball!!
