Vote NO (if it ever gets that far)

I am not asking for a special rate for the 6 month membership.
Actually my proposal would end up costing me $90 more each year based upon my golfing pattern for 5 months.The discounts on green fees and not paying trail fees on exec will not offset the cost of a six month membership.The price difference between a 6 month and 12 month is about $150.My proposal will increase the revenue for the firm running the golf courses.The only benefit I would receive will be priority on championship tee times.I do not see how this will cost full timers something.If anything my $90 donation will help to offset future rate increases for both the 6 month and 12 month memberships.

The 6 month membership is already offered,I am just requesting a revision so a snowbird that does not spend 6 straight months in TV can benefit from the membership.

I really can't say I agree or disagree with your logic. I just know that The Villages is a money making machine and if can be done and The Villages can profit from it they would have thought of a way already.
