Having been in the golf business for 35 years, I am acutely aware of the liability that a course might have when someone on the course is struck by lightning. I know of many courses that have installed lightning warning systems that automatically go off when lightning is within a certain distance. I'm surprised to read that the Villages would leave themselves open to law suits.

But aside from that I don't understand this point system. When I bought my house, it was my understanding that we got free unlimited golf for as long as we live here and pay our amenities fee. What are the points all about?
Points are used to determine the awarding of tee times on the Championship courses. You can read all the details here:
