Geez, cut the ambassador some slack. It's not like there's a million dollars on the line. Have fun, laugh and just enjoy life and the fact that you are still able to get out and enjoy golf.

Our Bonnie has it right, plus a good heart, AND she is so lovely too. She is the poster girl for The Villages.

We have lost so many very close friends this year and it's been heartbreaking. Many of them were so sudden. It helps put things in perspective. Life is so short and we never know when our time will come. Might as well get as much fun in as I can.

Now only a couple of times a year my sibs, kids, nieces and nephews get together and we still try to make each other laugh with stories. It feels the same but twice a year is not enough. I wish they were here. |

I use to get lost too. My idea was to put t a black pickle ball on the highest point on a street sign that leads to a starter shack or another pickleball. They look like big golf wiffle balls. Unless you were looking for one I'll bet no one would even notice it.

Those words are what is needed on a sign.

I get it. Ambassador's are damned if they do (whatever they do) and damned if they don't. It can be a fun job being an Ambassador but also sometimes a tough job.

ALWAYS a tough job here. I would last about five minutes in any job here, serving the public. Maybe four. I appreciate those who work with us old grouches.

This is a great thread. It's about nothing but this time, so far, no one is angry.

Did this incident with the ambassador happen at Havana? I never forgot about three years ago I was playing at Havana on Kenya and was joined by a couple in their 50's from California. We had a nice conversation going for about a dozen holes, they were on a lifestyle visit and were trying to decide between Florida and Arizona and the west coast. They were both decent golfers and on our back nine the lady was in a sand trap. An ambassador rolled up and told the lady in a sort of stern manner, lay your rake inside the trap with the handle toward the edge and began to show her. She must of talked about that incident for the next 2 or 3 holes. I thought, I've never seen an ambassador talk this way to anyone, and many times I wished they had, and now this person is probably going to always remember this. I know I did, and that was three years ago.
The funny thing is, I started playing golf in 1962 and I know my way around a golf course. I took the Good Golf School when I arrived here five years ago, and the way a rake is positioned is the only thing I really learned at that school and remembered afterwards. |

Just for clarification, this happened at Truman, the woman has played golf for years, knows the rules, and this was her one and only sand trap. I never have problems with ambassadors, but this guy left the cart path, drove over 100 ft. to the sand trap and proceeded to tell her how to put the rake away. Fortunately she is a full time resident and knows it was just him being a jerk. If you don't see it this way, that's fine, maybe you had to be there.
