From the online newspaper;

Beginning promptly at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Lake Sumter Landing, the golf division will be “auctioning” off the opportunity to be one of the first 27 foursomes to play Belle Glade later this month.

There was a story in The Villages Sun about a week ago that some fellow walked up to the auctioneer at the square and asked what was the highest bid so far, they answered $400. He took out his checkbook and wrote one for $1,000. I don't remember if they said that was the top bid, but it would seem like it. Anyway, I would want to know if they played yesterday or did they get a rain check to come back today or tomorrow?
