Default Re: the Ex-Lopey Legacy

Nancy Lopez has been coming here for years and always stays in the home they say is "her home in the Villages". She has an AIM tournament here each year and she and her husband both stay before, through and after the tournament.

I have heard nothing about a change in the name etc. and my husband played at Lopez today.

For a fact, none of the restaurants in the "country clubs" are owned by the Villages anymore. They are all privately owned having been sold by the developer over the years. A guy from Maryland bought Tierra del Sol a year or so ago. Orange Blossom is also owned by a former manager of a Village run place.

I will believe Nancy has requested her name be removed from the course when I see it in print. Her name was bought and paid for just as Arnold Palmers was and he never owned a home here. These folks sell their names for a lot of money and as far as I know, Palmer came back only last year for the Shoot your Age tournament along with GaryPlayer.

Guys, it's all about the money!!! Get real!!! :edit:
