Hell no, guys, after my scare in '06, every morning when I open my eyes, I say "Thank You Jesus"!!! You really learn to appreciate the small things. That's why I've decided to start a whole new life for myself, move to TV to be closer to family and friends, and enjoy what time is left.

"There but for the grace of God, go I"!!!! Kathie

Unfortunately, I think it sometimes takes a life-threatening illness, cancer diagnosis or other serious medical scare to make us truly appreciate how short and sweet life is. I consider my own "wake up call" to be a blessing, as I now appreciate every single day and am grateful to just be alive. And I consider myself to be especially blessed to live in TV. lovehorse

I think this post has been severely hijacked! Sorry Topicop. :cop:

Getting back to the question of the Executive Trail Fees... If I am not misstaken, every resident, by virtue of being a resident, still plays golf for free for the rest of their life on Executive courses. The Trail Fee is for CARTS... not the golfer. If you don't need to ride a cart, don't pay the fee, you can still play for nothing. And as far as having one cart or four in a family, you are only using one to play the round with. The other 3 are back in the garage. The fee is for that cart that you are using. My wife and I stopped paying the fee a couple of years ago when we found we weren't playing the execs enough to make it worth it. We still play the execs, but either walk (for free), or pay the buck to rent one of their push carts, or $7 to actually use our cart for that round.

why would anyone pay a cart fee on an executive course other than to have a soft seat to sit on while waiting to tee off at the next hole??? I always walk, check back with me in 20 years and I may have changed my tune,

hmmm....only a golf nut would walk....

duh me...look at your nic!

[golfnut]

bright, what is my nic?

Well I kind of think we have three threads going here. One for golf and trail fees, one for single vs couples and one for can't we all just get along and be happy we are alive. :dontknow: I think that just waking up in the morning trumps who pays more for amenities; singles or couples or what trail fee's cost. Just my thoughts......
