As I waited for my tee time yesterday. I watched as a male golfer goes over next to a rec-center and starts swinging his club taking large peaces of grass out of the lawn. I suggested that was not the place to do that since it was clearly not part of the golf course. His reply (well I don't use those kind of words). And another quote. "I paid for golf time and I can swing my clubs where ever I want to" . Then his friend comes over looks at me. laughs and takes his club and starts hitting the plants. " Don't like he tells me. Try and do something about it."
Welcome to the villages when the snow birds are here.
As for the Ambassadors. They can't really do much about it. The villages will not let them do what is needed to stop this kind of thing from happening. Please remember this is about making money not about playing golf.

The snowbirds that I know don't act like this. Don't paint them with a broad brush.
Your new friends you met on the golf course are just jerks. Probably were bullies on the playground as well. Wanting to start a fight..........is so macho!
