You must have missed the threads from people who live next to executive golf courses about non golfers on the courses after hours. There might be people out there , but they are trespassing too, or so I'm told.

It's called a sport. You catch a ball and throw it back too.

Agree, I see crap against rules about everyday. I’m in no position of legal authority and not worth arguing over or risk fist fight. Let people of authority uphold rules.

All I’m saying is there’s lots of places to fish instead of making a golf course your private fishing hole!
Well, it wouldn’t be the golfer’s

Pray tell, why would anyone want to fish in a pond that assuredly receives runoff from the golf course greens? The fertilizers, the pesticides, etc. surely would be enough of a deterrent.
Majority fish for the sport and don’t keep the fish to eat, especially retention pond and on golf courses. It’s called catch and release which in rule in ALL villages water retention ponds.

Also saw group jump from back of a pickup and do same thing at pool across from Arnold Palmer restaurant. Often swim in Ashland neighborhood pool after dinner and before it closes, often no one else there. Back a few months, last fall, woman comes into pool area with work scrubs on. Didn't come in golf cart, came in fairly old model of Toyota. Went into restroom, removed scrubs, put on swim suit, and walked to shower. I was thinking WOW, someone actually is courteous enough to SHOWER before using our community pools as bath tubs, good for her, seldom see that ! But no, she got out body wash and shampoo and proceeded to take an entire body shower AND wash her hair.... soap running off all over..... as some on here always say, "trying to understand some people is like trying to smell a color or a number !" Homeless ? Living in that car ? Doubt it, the scrubs and name tag (didn't get a look, I was swimming laps since pool was empty) made it obvious she had a job. Maybe it saves on water bill to just use Villages facilities like the workers I see doing same thing quite often really.

I don't understand the need to be so judgmental. And the various references to things that supposedly deem others as "undesirable" -- i.e. came in a fairly late model Toyota -- oh, the horror of that (sarcasm) -- So what if a landscape worker uses the restroom, so what if they want to wash their feet, so what if they want to put on a bathing suit and wash off under a shower -- maybe it is as simple as wanting to get the things they come in contact with while doing landscaping work off their skin as soon as possible so it doesn't irritate -- why is an assumption of homelessness and too cheap to pay for their water bill come to mind first? They are people and they are keeping our community beautiful -- humans sometimes need to use a restroom. Geez. Give them a break.

Well, they are neither residents or guests. So I suppose rules never apply, to anything.

Washing your feet in a sink meant for hands is indeed gross and crosses the line.

Bottom line, no one really knows the Rules!
