P.S. I recommend that all Investment Income Property owners, give their renters The Villages brochure on proper golf etiquette, perhaps this will cut down on some of the infractions.

The starter told us for any issues like that to call the starter shack using the phone number listed on bottom of score card. The starter can then radio the ambassador who can then handle the situation.
Our group was not slow in fact we were waiting for grp in front.
We were not aware starter shack address and phone number is on the bottom of all score cards.
Bunny1, I can tell you right now they won’t really say to much to them, they’ll just tell them to wait until you are on your cart & leaving. Maybe they’ll do it & maybe they won’t. No way the Ambassador will make any body mad.

FYI, no not an investor.
I brought it up because of the big assumption that was made.
Just like your assumption of my being an “investment income” property owner.

Hit the ball back to them (not at them). They'll get the message. If it happens again change your aim!

To hot to play, courses are empty, and many regulars wouldn't be able to spell etiquette anyway!

Biggest complainers in TV are golfers...

The courses arent right
The greens arent right
The people are too slow

On and on...mayne they should remember what they paid to get a course up north.

And TV isnt all about golf...naybe some golfers should enjoy something else

When is 'seasonal renter' season, is that October and November? Because I fixed plenty of ball marks besides my own, raked traps and filled divots in those months. And typically people that would go on a 'golf vacay' as you call it, would take the time to do some basic repairs.

And I'm not an investment income property owner either.
