He's not a reporter, he's an ad copywriter paid to write only positive pieces of propaganda for suckers dumb enough to actually pay money for a marketing tool disguised as a newspaper.

Agree
To survive in the hard copy, and electronic world of publications, ad money drives the narrative. Argument, in some cases like this.....bait and switch?

pristine (adjective)
in its original condition; unspoiled, untouched by human hands

I think those courses fit that definition

Default Pristine

Choked on my coffee. Still trying to get the green paint off my shoes and cart seat. Add insult to injury, they didn’t even proofread the text itself.

Probably the same reporter they hired to write about Oren Miller. Or the same one who wrote when they raise our fire fee from $125 to $333 and start charging a milage fee on top of that it would be a savings for most residents.

As I remember, that is what the people voted for, after a misleading propaganda campaign. So now the fire rate is in the hands of the county, not The Villages.

Default Pristine golf courses

The villages should be embarassed to advertise any type of golf to prospective buyers with the conditions our courses are in. Never seen courses get so bad over the winter.
