I am still mulling over the idea of buying one of those paintball guns for those who feel they can breech the rules with impunity. Not only golfers, but golf cart drivers. :-)
But then, I would then fall into that category, wouldn’t I? But maybe I should take Mickelson’s lead and evaluate the pros and cons before I took some action. Would I get probation? Would LE just roll their eyes at the old, senile person and laugh it off? Would I get sued? If so, would my umbrella policy cover it? So many questions ...

You mean our exec courses are not the same quality as Pebble Beach? What a surprise. |

Oh the stories I could tell while living on the course. Guys playing in the dark with their headlights pointed to the green. Golfers driving all over my yard looking for a ball. Another guy telling me to f... o.. when I told him to stop beating my shrubs while he was looking for his ball. (Unfortunately I went after him, but the coward drove away). I was able to id him and found out he actually worked on one of the courses. No more. Daily Sun published the golf etiquette rules on Feb. 4, 2013. They need to be published again. Never play or retrieve a ball from the yard of a resident. Report any damage of private property. Playing is strictly prohibited beyond the property line of a resident, even if not designated by white stakes.
90% of our golfers are great and respectful and I am more than happy to let them get their ball (unless it's a ProV1) The trees have finally grown so I get very few balls any more. Love the view! ps last time I played Evans Prairie, I had to call up and tell them the fairways were so wet they should ban carts. We were sinking. Where is the course superintendent? |

We do not live on a golf course here but have lived on Country Club courses in Texas and Georgia. Oh, the stories I could tell. It’s just not here in TV.

I think it’s become necessary due to the population.

Not quite-----$495 off season, $525 in season. Plus it's hard to get a tee time unless you stay at one of the resorts for $800-$1200/night. Now if you don't mind putting on a lunar landscape, the fee is only $250 for the week of 9/4 after they aerate.

Yes, so hardly a good comparison between a TV course and Pebble Beach.

used to live on a golf course and the golfers will stop at nothing to get their ball even after they had hit your home.I was even told thats what you get for living on a golf course. The ambassadors cannot do a thing about these rude golfers and yes there were many! We had to move and are very happy to be away from that nightmare and yes it was in the villages! |

By the way, we lived only 1/2 hour from Pebble Beach, so he did not have to stay at an expensive resort there. But yes the fee was high but well worth it because of its beauty and challenges. I am sure you have seen it on television. However I acknowledge it would be great to be able to play golf all day and every day 365 (366 in a leap years) days a year without having to pay anything except for trail fees if you don't bring your own golf cart.
