Don't try to use logic.


:icon_wink:

Can I answer this question? Can I? Can I?

Some of us can walk 4000 steps a day but say not 8000 steps without pain. And just possibly would like to spend those steps on putt putting.

I've seen a lot of cars drop Seniors off at the entrance and then park the car.

If you really have to ask that question then you are lucky to not be one of us folks that either have or need knee/hip replacements (or both) who each day only have a limited number of steps in our achey joints. A lack of availability of adequate parking shouldn't be a reason for keeping us from using the amities that we pay for each and every month.

Not having a parking lot is also a pain for those who live here and do not have a golf cart. There is a very small percentage of people that live closer to the Putt and Play than the parking lots so they either have to walk further than those using the parking lots or drive a car and park it. They are most likely going to build another one of these somewhere in TV and it will be interesting to see whether or not they provide parking. When they first started building it I told my wife I would feel sorry for anyone living near it as parking is allowed on the side streets and people will be in front of their homes and walking on their lawns all day long. Nothing worse than banging car doors at nap time.

Just had one.
I still think it is just a lot of whining...………………..

This would be the logical solution. Fenney residents get free cart use when they drive north to golf, therefore northern Villagers should get free cart use when they drive south to putt-n-play. Or golf, for that matter.

When Fenney residents are no longer allowed to get free cart use, then the north side should no longer be allowed free cart use.

Alternately, Fenney residents should have to pay for cart use in the north, and carts should be made available for hourly rent to northerners visiting the south.

They do not get free carts on the executive courses now
that they have 4 executive courses.. Free rentals on the championship courses because the aren't any championship courses South of 44.

Your entire post assumes that everyone who wants to play at the putt-n-play owns a golf cart. This isn't a big golf course requiring a golf cart. You don't need a golf cart to play there, why would you need a golf cart to get there?

The point still applies since there isn't a putt-n-play north of 44 that people living north of 44 can get to.

Thereare 2 different things going on here. There is the putting course where there is not car parking. The pitch and putt course does not allow golf carts. Both courses do not allow golf carts.

I take exception with that. I swim a mile and a half 6 days a week, some days when I have the time I swim two and a half miles. Three days a week I then go to the health club and do the full nautilus circuit. I never get tired swimming and am constantly exercising, not lazy, just do what my body lets me get away with. However, walking over a half mile is just not happening unless there is an emergency that dictates it. I could walk a mile and a half if I absolutely had to, but then I would spend the next two days in a recliner with my knees on ice so I could walk again. You obviously don't get it, some people simply can't walk that far without consequences. It's not whining, it's cold hard reality.

I understand the concern for the walking distance for some folks but after doing some measurements, the actual walking distance from the Sugar Cane parking lot to the PnP is slightly less than 1/4 mile. The walking distance for the course itself is over 1/2 mile. The initial walk seems longer than it really is. It seems like people are complaining of the price of the taxi ride to the casino.

None the less, it was a pretty poor decision not to have any parking for cars. I brought this issue up at (I think it was) the June PWAC meeting; the bottom line is that it's the developer's issue not the Rec Department or PWAC or any other part of The Village local governments issue to deal with. The developer owns the property and pays the Rec Dept to operate to operate and maintain it. It's not ours yet to make any changes to it. There's not been discussion about SLCDD purchasing the new amenities from the developer, yet, I can assure you that if it does happen within the next 3 1/2 years this parking issue will be brought up if it hasn't been resolved, by me if nobody else.

If the people in Fenny are complaining, I wonder to whom they complain and if anyone listens? If the Putt and play is supposed to be for everyone then the streets in front of Fenny will have to put up with this or get the positioning changed, When I get back to golfing there is no way I can walk 1/2 mile. Plus where do you get a cart? i will definitely have to park in front of someones home, on a street that We All Own. Sorry Fennyites!
BTW I am not whining, I am stating the reality of my situation. Also if there are not golf carts what do people do. Maybe the developer could have a trolley like they do at the hospital to take people ov:MOJE_whot:er to the courses. I could work with tat.[B][/12]

If you park at the Fenney Rec. Center you can go in and get a putter to use then ask for a ride to the course via one of their golf cars and get picked up when ready, they announced this months ago when people were complaining. If you are fit and able to walk the 1/4 mile you shouldn't use this option but if you are unable to walk it this is your alternate. So you have 3 choices, park at the pool and walk, get a ride from the rec. center, or park in front of someones home and pi__ them off, your final choice depends on the type of individual you are. There had to be a reason they didn't provide a parking lot for cars but I can't imagine what it could have been. They should have built this next to the archery range and dog park in DeSoto.
