Naturally this is an outrageously expensive solution to the problem and somewhat Orwellian as well. More "ambassadors" with more enforcement powers (and the willingness to use them) might help, but we seemed to have gone in the other direction with that. |

Then you get into the problem of guests---how do they qualify to play? My ex brother in law is head pro at a club in Mass.---he came down several times to play--did he need to go to school? And here's another Villages quirk----they only "comp" a visiting PGA pro once a year, after that, full price. I sure hope if Tiger decides he wants to come here often that he brings his wallet. Talk about cheaping out! So it is a complicated issue. Like my father always aid, "You can't legislate morality"--or in this case golf etiquette.

Age-old problem.
For once, size does not matter: Handicap doesn't matter. Investment portfolio doesn't matter. Green fees don't matter. It's a lack of pride, respect & responsibility. Like other posts.............it's expensive, but the courses need to be policed (unfortunately).

Well, I have a solution for the Airbnb problem in general that would reduce about 80% of them. IF, and it is a big IF that has been repeated that Florida law prevents a locality from banning short term rentals, there is a back door solution completely within the control of TV---do not allow guest passes for Airbnb tenants. The appeal of a weekend stay in TV will decline dramatically.

Believe it or not, I also saw a guy empty an ASHTRAY in his cart onto the MMP by Savannah Center. I rounded the turn behind him just as he finished scattering cigarette butts all over the path. He took off in a hurry. Maybe he at least had the grace to feel ashamed, but I doubt it. If you're a courteous person on the golf course odds are that you are a courteous person in other aspects of your life as well. Unfortunately the opposite is probably also true. |

Class of Golfer
Class of golfer has nothing to do with it!! We need to take pride in these courses weather t be Chanpionship or Executive, these are OUR courses and shoud take pride in keping nice. Fix a ball mark, fix a divot, pick-up broken tees and let other people know to do the same!!

They will learn as soon as they learn to use turn signals when turning! Lazy is lazy!

Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” With everyone looking out for everyone else's interests more than their own, no one would be in need. Besides regular life, this verse also applies to Golf life. 😇 So fix your damn ball mark and keep moving to the next hole!

I grew up playing golf at 10 years old. My mentors taught me golf course etiquette. Many golfers in The Villages, started playing golf when they moved here and never bothered to learn the etiquette. Sad!

So you judge a person's character based on his wealth? I've played with a lot of "millionaires" whose philosophy is "I paid a lot of money to play here. They can rake their own bunkers. That's what I pay them for."
