You mention that there are available tables while you are waiting, however, whenever we are at Cane around midday it is usually packed. You also mention that in the summer the CCs need your business more as they are less crowded. That seems a bit contradictory if they are not full in the winter and not full in the summer. The restaurants have to make money and they need to keep their help - all by selling food/beverages to golfers, red hat ladies, life style folks etc. They are not like "private" country clubs with minimum spend amounts every month.

I like Kate's idea (which I have done numerous times), have a beverage in the parking lot or at the last green and talk about the round. Wait for the last group to play (everyone loves an audience of hecklers) and decide where to eat. Then go as a group. |

Having beverages in the parking lot sounds a lot like what people do up North in the parking lots at Public Courses. Tacky! |

With the exception of Cane and Palmer.... There is no affiliation between the golf courses and the restaurants that are located at them....the restaurants are open to the public

Not showering/bathing before entering a dining facility after a sweaty round of golf..... That's Tacky... Thats disgusting.The beer drinking and heckeling in the parking lot I can take. How about drinking beer, heckleing, and showering in the locker room while we wait for the rest of our group to putt out; before going into the restaurant to eat??? Makes perfect sense to me.. JMHO |

"I want to do what's best/convenient for me, regardless of how it might negatively impact someone elses experience.". What of the folks that are unfortunate enough to be seated next to this golf group? Unfortunately, this is a culture created by the developer..that the proprietors of the local business' have had to endure, but didn't necessarily sign on for. Personally, my hat is of to any bussiness in the villages that is ventureing to break it.... I look forward to some peaceful dining experiences in the villages when I return to the area in May... |

(That is twice I have said that today) I have golfed for over 40 years and never showered before having a sandwich or drinks with my buddies. Neither has my husband Sweetie. (I think his hygiene is perfect) Gracie aka Stinky. Last edited by graciegirl; 03-31-2011 at 05:13 PM. |

I'm not talking about public rowdiness for god's sake. But just having a water/soda/beer from your cooler while you wait for the others to finish. And try timing it next time - I'll bet it's no better than 9-10 minutes. Could be better but not likely, unless there are 4 of me And the executive courses aren't meant solely as training grounds. |

Tee times generally start about 7 - 9 minutes apart. Sometimes with more time on the execs. Havana says it should be played in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Doesn't that come out to about 14 minutes a hole? Also, FYI - Russ' handicap is just about my shoe size....so he is no slacker. And Gracie, I think I am stinky too. Have never showered after a round when having a drink afterward. Also, usually just grab something quick if we are eating out. I think if I was planning on having the works at Lopez, I would want to clean up my act a bit.... k
