Presumably there will be a lot of people in the same boat. Does one point mean you're "at the bottom of the heap" for a week?

Most of the above questions could be answered at the "Good Golf School", which I think should be mandatory for residents before they are allowed to get a t-time.

And maybe a refresher course every few years.

I know of many courses that have installed lightning warning systems that automatically go off when lightning is within a certain distance. I'm surprised to read that the Villages would leave themselves open to law suits.

But aside from that I don't understand this point system. When I bought my house, it was my understanding that we got free unlimited golf for as long as we live here and pay our amenities fee. What are the points all about?

Dr Boogie

The points are assessed for playing therefore awarding tee times in in a pecking order with the lowest points having the first chance to get a desired tee time.

What did you do in the golf business ?
