Maybe they were starting all groups on 10 all day long

Walkers don't belong on a golf course....if someone is stupid enough to walk onto a golf course right in front of golfer's teeing off or between golfers on the fairway and the green they absolutely deserve to get hit in the head, neck, shoulders, stomach, groin, leg, ankle anywhere...they don't belong there

I wonder if these 'entitled' folks are stupid enough to walk across the driving range down on Rolling Acres when it's packed with folks hitting balls, or would they walk across the shooting lanes over at Shooter's World after hearing 'ready on the right, ready on the left'

I don’t understand
 

I trying to understand your logic. It’s not okay to golf on an executive golf course after golfers with a tee time finish for the day but it is okay to walk your dog on the golf course after golf is finished for the day. :ohdear:

It doesn’t make sense to me that we can’t play golf after hours the way we did before. It is safer because you can play alone or with your partner. If you get a tee time they put other people with you who may not follow the six foot distance rule so if everything they are doing is for our safety they are missing the boat.

It's actually pretty simple. They never want anyone to play unless there is an ambassador out there to supervise play. Whether or not they actually do that or not is another discussion, but I think they do a great job. There aren't enough staff members to keep everything running at the usual times, that's why the championship courses went to straight tee times and all courses have a last tee time of 4PM. Today I heard 57 staff members have elected to stay home during this time, whether that is true or not---???????

asked to leave
 

I was asked to leave course at 7:25 PM. The ambassador could just as easily taken my Id # as before. Makes more business sense and could lower our fees for next year because of more revenue. But I guess we need to be punished. Makes as much sense to me.

Here is the logic
 

Change the words golfers to swimmers, golf course to sports pool and change " walk your dog" to "wash your dog", and it becomes : it's not okay to swim in the sports pool after swim time is over but it is okay to wash you dog in the pool after hours. Get the logic now, Justjim? Folks here, like folks everywhere, want what they want without regard for laws, rules, respect for others property, etc. As for the "I don't see the problem" type comments, they are either (sadly) too dumb to see the problem or, more likely , just don't want to see it.

Did you know that you weren't supposed to be there at that time?

what the heck is a weed chopper?

I’ve ran a few off Southern Star since the 4pm shutdown started.

I asked them, in a nice way of course, what part of the “course closed sign” did they not understand?

Seriously? You can’t tell people to stay 6’ away from you? Man up (or lady up) and use a stern voice and tell them to back off. It could save your life.

Don't you all get tired off complaining about everything under the sun for the umpteenth time? Maybe its time to get off the computer, step outside, and just be glad you are alive.

I notice that no one can come up with a valid reason why walkers are not allowed on the course after the golfers are finished. The primary response has been, "because those are the rules". Do people ever question whether the rules make sense? I bet if they came out and said people are no longer allowed to walk on the sidewalks, or no golf cars allowed to be out after 6 PM the same people here would be out defending these rule with the same arcane logic - because it's the rules.

With everything closed down in The Villages, I would think that those who claim to want to make this a great place to live should be looking for creative ways to safely improve our lifestyle in these trying times rather than just ways to clamp down on it. I'm sure that walking on a golf course cart path after the golfers are gone has got to be one of the safest things one can do here - certainly safer than walking on the sidewalk which necessitates crossing sometimes busy streets. It is also far safer than walking on a multi-modal path with golf carts speeding by - yet no one has any problem with that.

Agree completely for post #76. Last year I was looking forward to moving to The Villages as a great place to live.
Today, having been reading these blogs for some time, I am now not so sure.
The carping about everything, and the people whose hobby is riding around in golf carts just looking for infractions of HOA rules are a big turnoff.

I heard that's not true
