Players joined 3-4 teams, played in Tournaments frequently and CLOSED THE COURTS TO RESIDENTS during the frequent tournaments. Also closed them for practice sessions for Tournaments, etc etc. There was OPEN TENNIS for all residents in the morning ( come and play)which they also tried to take over. When they met some resistance they changed the hours to 7AM. We played in the cold with LIGHTS in the winter. I could go on but you see what can happen under resident control. The Morses do not let this happen here.
I thought the post referred to TV residents. Sorry if I misinterpreted it. I don't disagree with the point that resident control may not be an improvement.
