Please see posts #63,64, & 67

You can't tee off after 4, but you might be on the course at 8 if it is an 18 holes course

I’d be done by 6:30. Some walkers or bike riders don’t play golf, even though their fees pay for the courses.

Because if you give some folks an inch, they take a mile. Then someone would ask...My toddler grands are here and they get up early so we let them go out to the sand trap with their toys. Unless you play golf, you don't understand that it is not a park.

I don’t think we are reading the same rule. Obviously, if you can tee off at 3:58, you are “legal” to finish your game.

Of course you are allowed to finish if you tee off at 3:58. If you start after the last tee time you will be asked to leave. What is so hard to understand??

That's what I said.

This I don’t understand???

I'm not a golfer, but maybe the 4pm time is the latest you can start your game???

Meaning, for example, if you look at open tee times for this upcoming Sunday, you'll see a 4pm available at Truman.

Please, p lease, please! The last tee time - legitimate tee time is 3:58. You may tee off and finish the round - approx 1 hr and 30 min. so you may still be on the course as late as 5:30. The last tee time is NOT 4:00 pm.

Nope! Tee times end at 4, not play! I played last night and it was about 520 when we got done.

It is because of lack of employees. Villages gave the ambassadors the option to not work because of this virus. 26 employees took him up on it so they don’t have enough staff. There is no national standard. Every state does what they feel is best with guidance from the federal government. We are still the United States of America and we are not under martial law. I’m amazed at how many people just so easily give up their civil freedoms

Easy, big guy. I understand it just fine. You're the one muddying the water with "What part of "the courses are closed for play after 4" doesn't everyone understand? You are trespassing after 4 and can't play. If caught, you will be asked leave on your own, or be "escorted" off."And technically, there are a bunch of 4:00 pm tee times, not just 3:58.

:ho: Technically not a bunch. Once a day at Truman for 4 players.

Truman and Roosevelt don't have 9 minute tee times. They have 10 minutes between tee times. It's because of the 1 tee layout on each. They are next to each other and stagger their starts every 5 minutes. One goes and 5 minutes later the other and 5 minutes later the 1st. goes again.

Yes. It happens on other courses. And this was only a sampling from Sunday's tee times. Plenty of 4pm's tomorrow and Saturday as well.
