Plans being discussed of a Golf Boycott by Priority Members !!!!!
I have heard rumblings recently that a group of Priority Members have been discussing a "boycott day / week" ....... anyone else heard anything about this ?

Haven't heard, but your post made me stop and think about IF such a thing took place. Would the villages administration, or golf administration, or even the lowly course employees really care if everyone stayed off all the courses for a day ? Or a week ? If they did, would the 1300 people who checked in in the month of March also be willing to "pass" on the times they are given on the championship courses, and just play the none hole courses ? Maybe I am not seeing any benefit, but I could certainly be wrong ! To me it seems like if our entire community stopped buying bread for an entire day, or for an entire week, would it really have an "awaking" effect ? Maybe so because as it relates to the courses, I have no idea what the actual profit is for one day, or one week ? Does anyone know ?

I doubt it will happen a day or a week will not make an impression on the Developer. Maybe if you brought it to the attention on national media.

Already have your money so probably not a big deal.
BUT…..if 29% chose not to renew for a few months maybe cause pause.

That said, I think there would be repercussions that won't be pleasant, for those organizing such a thing. On a more positive note. I believe the Developer has taken heed and begun to work at getting the courses into better condition. I've seen significant evidence of that, over the last 2 weeks. |

I think the bad social media publicity is enough, along with ire and direct confrontation at Meetings withCCD members will effect sales (duh) of the developer, esp during a soft sales period, that changes may take place, as BrianL pointed out

The non-priority golfers will thank you mightily.

No developer likes this kind of smoke. If there is a vocal group in place, kudos to you as your efforts appear to be gaining some traction.

Maybe the courses would actually be happy with a boycott! It would give the fairways and greens a day without traffic!

That would be great for the Golf Course Employees, they would still get paid and they would enjoy a day of not hearing all of the senseless complaining !

I think it'd be great for the greens if no one golfed at them one day every week. Maybe it's something the golf courses should consider. Each one shuts down on a rotating basis, so maybe course 1, 5, 17, and 29 all close on Tuesdays THIS month - and next month it switches to Wednesdays. And so on.
