Imagine the hardest part of your day is not seeing the flag on the 9th hole. I’m usually thinking about lunch by the 7th hole

Why must responders be so mean??? It’s so easy behind your keyboard. I always say I could start a post “it’s a beautiful day in The Villages”. And some crabs would say “no there’s a cloud”. “no the Developer told you to post that”. “no I see dog poop”. Etc etc etc

Oh the Humanity of it All. Plenty of other courses. Some of us like a challenge . I think the golf cart can make a U turn after you see where the green is. Just saying

You can usually see it just fine from the Black tees, you are right about the Gold tees. I just make a habit of looking from the Black as I approach. If its going to be awhile I'll hang back until they start to walk off.

You must have been exhausted!

The weeds will be long gone before this thread is dead.

I have played Red Fox at least 3 dozen times over the past few years. Never had a problem seeing the green or the flag from either the black or gold tees. Has something changed in the last 2 weeks???

The vegetation gets high in the pond. It will be cut back soon.

Yesterday the flag was on the right side of the green and from the right side of the gold t box we could see it and some of the green. Easy Peasy. My shot went left of the cart path anyway. So much for the importance of a clear view to the flag.

Maybe we should rename this forum to, “Whiners of the Villages”.
 
Quit bitchin’ and enjoy living here.
