...and some of us (who,me?) SHOULD have to pay extra for the executive courses considering how we chop them up!

Executive golf is free. Nobody HAS to drive a cart, and nobody has to buy an annual trail fee for $141 even if they do want to drive a cart. We can pay the trail fee as we go, for a "whopping" $3. SMH......

I'm all for a priority golf membership for both golf and the club pools to use with family and guests. That's why we buy that priority membership every year.

I also said right up front that I would be happy to pay a fee to use a regulation, competition length indoor pool.

A great reason to have one hasn't been mentioned yet: swimming after dark at 5-6pm once the time changes for the winter. Darkness early, after classes and teams occupy the sport pools all day till 3-4pm, seriously limits lap time overall, and especially lap time that's not in the peak sun exposure hours.

Well said! :thumbup:

Hi sweet bonny

With the exception of this very unusual warm summer I do walk the executive courses(my preference) and I do pay the $141 trail fee and do so without complaint. As to the phone system as I said in my previous post, unless your a glutton for punishment who would use such an arcane method for reserving a tee time Ugh

My reference to these cost was for illustrious purpose only to point out that people pay extra for things they desire to do such as playing the championship courses and /or executive courses priority memberships, etc, it wasn't an attack on paying these costs but I digress

I never used a swimming pool or rec center/activities contained therein but my wife does attend an exercise class at one of the rec centers. I understand what I signed on for and its fine with me. However in that same vein if we adapted every whim of a suggestion a resident advanced we would go broke.

I do not object to an indoor pool. I would object for being asked to pay for it . so let TVLSI build it and sell memberships to it. I'll never oppose that decision.

This thread should be viewed simply as a discussion, of competing voices on this issue and how residents view it. However we have a few that seem to react to differences of positions by calling those opposed complainers and I for one am sick of it because its an allegation given without much thought

“As they say in poker, ‘If you’ve been in the game 30 minutes and don’t know who the patsy is, you’re the patsy.'”

Warren E. Buffet, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, in the company’s annual report.


Change the word "poker" to "TOTV" and the word "patsy" to "complainer" and the shoe still fits.

Now there is a quote I can love.

If they do build the pool, I hope they see sense and make it 25 metres. 25 yards is fine for recreation but if it were an internationally-accepted length maybe it could generate some income by holding "meets".

Or make it 50m and TV could put in a bid for the Olympics, with pickleball as a demonstration sport :-)

I love entrepreneurs! Way to go.

You're not aware of the walking fee starting in October?

Actually, it will be just the opposite, if condo owners associations are an indicator of what will come. Special interests will continue to press the elected officials to add their pet amenity/project/activity/facility/service. Over time, the amenity fees will increase, user fees will increase, and special assessments will be more and more a part of the budget. A good example is the AAC responsible for spending the $40 million settlement. They are considering spending up to $3 million just for land for a new recreation center. I think that is where this new indoor pool is coming from. They are getting requests for platform tennis, golf course, lighted baseball fields and other amenities.

No, I didn't know that.

Yep, I'm only just discussing too. :thumbup:

Outlaw spot on to both the condo analogy and to the spending habits of AAC $40 million can go quickly

Could this be a record on a thread exceeding 100 posts in a couple days.......I think the Villages Health took weeks to get to 100.

I hope it's somewhere on the near me. Would love to have covered/indoor pool near by. Great for chilly winter days and not everyone wants to broil themselves!
