Snow birds and gates
 
We are noticing the squares, pools, restaurants, etc. etc. are becoming less crowded. Two of our snow bird neighbors left this morning! Why is it in the past week we have seen more gates down than we have in the last few months?
Snowbirds......I think not.

Because they stop working, in the past 2 weeks I have had 3 out going gates that would not open. At 3am it’s a PITA. Then again I have also watched them come down between cars very hard and just fall off. Maybe the pins that hold them on are not the quality as in years past.

Either way it’s dangerous for the carts to try to frogger across roads, because of the amount of cars that don’t stop, or even slow down, coming through down gates

Outsiders also come here, along with many contractors with trailers. It's not just us and snowbirds....

You do realize that snowflakes, snowbirds, part time owners, and those who choose to own multiple homes….STILL read and post when not in TV. So your hypothesis really doesn’t stand true. but I will say since we’ve been using this site since 2007, it has become less about how can I help you, and more about why are you a PIA for posting

Must be the full time folks coming out for the first time in 3-4 months.

Hopefully that means this past Friday was the last I had to worry about being hit upon by the foursome behind us. LOL

Those dam snowbirds play faster and hit longer.

Many more Snowbirds will leave May first. True birds rent. The Sunbirds (own here) will go and come during the summer. All is good. The gates are mainly for golf cart safety.

I guess some think keeping pace of play means at all costs. LOL
