If someone posts something in anger and the situation does not make the reader angry, naturally the response will be disagreement. Your post could be construed as being negative to some of the responses given on this thread and thus could also hurt and anger some of the posters. Over time as we read posts from the same reader we can usually get to know the mindset and attitudes of different posters.

The printed word lacks the nuances of the interchange between speakers and lacks the visual effects that soften a response. Some people are more direct in what they type and some people have the ability to tell someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the trip.

Wow, Gracie....you were right on target so early in the morning. Well said! Remind me to give you the SPOTD Award later.

I personally think that this is one of the all-time best excuses for having a poor golf game. I'm going to keep it in mind when I play golf next....no matter when or where it will be. "So Karen, how was your golf game?". "Oh...had a bad game....noise from the polo grounds". Great excuse....I love it!

Its important how you feel and how I feel whether we agree or disagree, it's with due respect to others that we listen and not judge and be respectful with our replies...whether we deem it far fetched or hard to visual or whether we have a difficult time how the noise can affect a golfer or if it's not that close, in our opinion. It's just our opinions and those opinions need to be respected. My concerns are the negative tones with the feedback here on this site.

Do not.....I repeat, DO NOT........log onto the politics board.

Distant sounds from an athletic field full of people enjoying life and who aren't in the nursing home or hospital (which are quiet places) is not even close to the distraction that is caused by somebody yacking loudly right beside the tee while you're hitting your tee shot.

I choose not to goto the free polo match Friday, I choose to play golf at 4:00 at Glenview CC paid $33 and had to listen to the polo match anyway. It was deafining and could not consentrate. How do people live there and put up with this noise. Don't even think of putting your house up for sale during polo season. How can the Villages do this to these poor people. Something must be done to stop the noise.

We live right accross the street and don't mind the loudspeakers as it is infrequent. You must be a great golfer to let that little noise distract you.....unlike Sandhill Cranes, others carts, trains, cars etc........

My suggestion to you is, the next time there is a Polo Match, golf at Bonifay!!! Then you will not here the noise that your complaining about. Next we are going to tell the High School not to play football, because of the noise and cheering of the crowd. Nothing like hearing the cheering of crowd at football games, baseball games and Polo Matches, whether playing golf or not. You are entitled to your opinion though!! Lets see? If I have a bad game, I can blame it on the noise from the Polo Match!!! Hmmmmmm?
