I have seen a dog on a course as well (I think it was Yankee Clipper). I think Starters/Ambassadors should be instructed/reinstructed how to handle these situations as we were told only service dogs were allowed.

It is very possible that the pile of poop you saw at Southern Star was not from a dog. There are quite a few coyotes in The Villages and it very well might have been from one of them.

Are the courses still open at 645 pm? If so, you definitely should have used your cell phone and called the course starter shack. The score cards all have the numbers on them. They would have sent the ambassador to get the dog walking lady off the course.

According to The Good Golf Guide:

"• Shoes must be worn at all times when on the golf courses. Tennis or golf shoes with soft spikes, or shoes with no more than a 1-inch heel, are mandatory."

The favorite TOTV word association always kicks in, so that when the word dog appears, someone will follow with the word poop!

I like the dogs better than such arrogant owners who think they are above rules and norms of conduct.

Funny
 

:1rotfl: Very funny! However the dog and a barefoot golfer not so funny! Not funny at all that the Ambassador didn't address this situation.

We played Southern Star this evening and there was a couple walking their dog along the cart path. I had just hit and when I drove up they had to pull their dog away as he tried to fetch my ball.

From the Good Golf Guide of The Villages:

"• Pets are not permitted on the course or riding in golf cars."

"• Spectators under the age of 10 are not permitted."

Would you soak your feet in a solution of pesticides and fertilizer
With the amounts of chemicals applied all most weekly I wouldn't think it could be a healthy practice

how much were they?

No harm.

Some things are just not classy in some places. It is kinda like knowing what fork to use.

Some of us are golf snobs. And proud of it.

I will until my dying day look down my nose at anyone bare footed on a golf course.

I would still save them from alligators if I had to.

Maybe the person forgot his golf shoes. My husband took off for golf one day and realized once he got to the course that he had on his flip flops. He had to golf 18 holes in flip flops. Not easy to do.

Lowes and Home Depot both welcome dogs. I was surprised to find that out but learned about while living in another state.

I told our dog don't even think you are playing golf. I don't have money for a custom set of clubs and he'd have to clean up his language.
