Golf courses ar not part of the Recreation and Parks Department. Policies of the R&P do not apply to golf.

As a former swimming pool lifeguard while in college I had to learn to deal with difficult people. It was a tossup as to whether the drunks or the inattentive mothers of small children were a bigger problem. I had to keep an unwavering eye on their tykes and pull them out when they kept wandering into deep water to drown while their mothers dozed in the sun.

You could not pay me enough to work that pool gatekeeper's job.

Yes, some TOTV members comprise a rough crowd.

You should be ashamed and go back and apologize to that man.

Why apologize? The man was not wearing a mask. How about speaking LOUDER so people could hear him? His excuse for not wearing a mask was lame as hell.

Thank you for a factual response vs. a fact-less comment. While I still find it to be illogical as to why it also shouldn't apply to golf as it would to shuffleboard, horseshoes and tossing bags of beans into a hole (despite the regulatory reason you provided) at least there is a "technical" reason for it.

I just went and got my mail and and normally on a day like today, there would be 20 golf carts in front of the Tamarind Grove pool, I only saw two carts at 2pm today.

I'll make three points for those not were quick to criticize and slow to see the irony (and a little humor).

1) I asked a question regarding a mask while swimming assuming the flaw in the policy was so obvious that the enforcers would have more information.

2) The irony and hypocrisy of an individual who's job is to check that the swimming guest are wearing a mask - is not wearing a mask should have leapt off the page even to the slowest individual.

3) I did not state the location because of point #2

1) I find it humorous you think it is obvious the lowest rung on the ladder would have new unpublished info on the rules.
2) Many people in our community have hearing deficiencies even with hearing aids. They find it difficult to understand speech without seeing the lips moving. It is well known that many people augment hearing with some lip reading.
3) I find it ironical you choose to humiliate and amuse yourself with your quick wit attacking a person without authority to respond to your abuse.
4) I find it ironical that you seem to hold yourself superior to those people that choose to support their community through low paying positions or volunteer work.
