The letter they sent was professional and classy. There seems to be more information on their Facebook page pickleballcommunity My understanding is the best people left.

It's no different than a "group" booking a block of Tee Times. The Villages specifically allows this and has a special procedure, where larger groups get a preferred, blocked Tee Time on a regular basis.

Exactly, anyone can reserve court times via the Rec Center. A number of groups do so for play and instructional drills. The same for tennis, beach tennis and platform tennis. The schedules are available on the boards outside the courts.

The PCVG volunteer's do an excellent job organizing the leagues, tournaments and instructional sessions. From my perspective, things improved and expanded significantly the past year or two.

What if I’m not in the database? If so, I wouldn’t have received the email you are referring to. From the OP, all we know is people resigned because they are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. What’s the back story and what needs to happen for the situation to improve?

Because it’s open play time through out villages. Plenty to reserve times after 10 am. They just want take time from residents that don’t belong to their little click. Golf has nothing to do with it cause all times are reserved, there no scheduled open tees times at any of courses, mo there times that not reserved which would open by no one reserving.

What's a "click"?

& you're incorrect about the golf system.

Golf groups with 32 or more players (I think that's the #), get special priority for Tee Times and their times are blocked off from the rest of the residents.

Further, you can buy an "enhanced membership" and get priority to book Tee Times.

If there are "plenty of reserve times after 10", sleep in and play after 10.

I, along with about 150 others, donate my time to teach during the times the courts are reserved for instruction. Several other courts are reserved once a week for various competitive leagues.

Then reserve rec enters which have multiple 6-courts sets like Rohan and stay off the single community PB courts. Where does all the money from the donors go? I am just waiting until a similar organization starts doing the same thing on golf courses.

I don’t know not my job checking ID’s , but till 10am open play. I think I’ll make up group name and reserve open play times cause I don’t want wait in line in. That way I can force local players to go some where else during open play time. IMO no problems after 10AM, but as one privileged members said it’s too hot so they force local RESIDENTS to go somewhere else. Entitled little group aren’t they.
