Just wait until the course is closed............."course closed" is just a suggestion.

"ryoungs ryoungs is offline Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2020 Posts: 11 Thanks: 2 Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts Default As a high school teacher, I coached cross country teams for many years. This was in Illinois. We sometimes ran on our local golf course. I figured the same thing was allowed here in The Villages -- but no, the first time I tried to jog on the golf course across the street from my home here, I got run off pronto by a player. It was almost dark, he was the last player of the day, and I was in no way interfering with his game. I guess that's just the way geezers get sometimes. But, you know, if that's the way it is done here, then I figure I need to follow the same rules. I do hate jogging on the streets though. LOL I have no advice on dogs, other than the owner should have their pet under control at all times. If dog walkers are not allowed on the golf courses, than dogs should not be there either."

I see no problem with dogs on the golf course. From what I see, they would do a lot less damage to the course than the players. And they can 'play' a hole a lot faster.

In any sizeable group of people there are going to be some who ignore rules. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle reminder. We had just moved in when one morning I found a pile of doggie dung on the grass near the street. I cleaned it up, then went out and bought one of those little signs with a cute little pup on it, urging dog owners to pick up after their pet. It worked. No more poop on the lawn. But two days after I had put it out, I saw that it had been turned around! |

Not sure about dogs, but I do know that cats are no longer allowed on the courses...they were constantly using the sand traps as litter boxes and never raked up when they were through. |

Every cat we ever had (all 7 of them) definitely raked after using the litter box. Those must be dogs masquerading as cats.

Now, if only we could get golfers to do the same

Some golfers are as stubborn as cats but less tidy.

Nose thumbing
Quote:
Well, how do you know if the person knows the rules and is thumbing their nose at them, or just doesn't know the rules? Yes, I know you will say it's everyone's responsibility to know all the rules, but there are situations where people are doing something that is an accepted norm elsewhere and just don't know all the rules. People just apply past practices. I wouldn't assume someone knows the rules and I would try to smile and be polite when pointing out rule violations. |
