Warren.

Today, May 1st, the prices/rates on Championship golf courses here in The Villages officially drop until December 1st.

Your homework is to work on a title for this information.

Does anyone expect prices on anything not to rise? Has the cost of gas and oil, labor, chemicals, electricity, and all of the other things that it takes to maintain a golf course gone up? Have taxes gone up?

I don't understand why anyone would be surprised that a price of something would go up.

I also hear a lot of people on this forum complain about the condition of the golf courses. It might be because they are being run on too small a budget. Maybe an increase in fess will result in better conditions. I don't know either way, but I do know that a car that cost $30,000 today could have been bought for about $3,000 forty years ago.

A second look shows that Resident fees increased $2 for all Championship Courses.

The increase that seems a little excessive is for golf cart rental. Up 50% from $10 to $15 - per person. I know most of us own carts but occasionally I need to rent one - guests, cart being serviced, etc.

I'm just guessing that for most people, that's not really that big of a deal given the still relatively low cost.

What would personally concern me more, is the cost of filling the fuel tank of that rig in your avatar.
