Don't get me wrong because I am happy here in TV and have no plans on leaving but, as the population increases the instances of inconsiderate, ignorant and stupid actions will increase on a proportionate level. They don't teach common sense in any educational level and it shows. Either you have it or you don't!! OK, I'm done.


I could not agree more! As other posters have indicated, should I hit an errant shot and it lands on someone's property and I can't retrieve it without stepping on the property or upsetting landscaping, I consider it a lost ball and move on even if the ball is lying in plain view. If the owner expressly invites me to grab my ball, ok, but only in that particular instance.
