Not sure why, but I've referred to the Championship courses by that name since my first day on campus. I always thought that "Championship" in the title or reference was a tad presumptuous.

One of the big amenities mentioned was the availability of so many golf courses.....I wonder if this has an impact on availability of tee times, particularly on Championship Courses. I'll be it does. And I wonder how many tee times are "set aside" by the Developer for Conventions, Lifestyle Visits (scheduled or not), etc. Does anyone on this forum know?

[QUOTE]

T-times (championship courses) in the years I have been associated with the courses have been set aside only for "Life Style visitors" and the slots (times) have never changed. If there are no "Life Style" golfers the slots are released by late afternoon into the reservation system for villagers to reserve for the next day. NEVER EVER have seen them for conventions, etc. Just another unsubstantiated rumor.

Hope this helps.

http://www.thevillagesfl.us/classactionsettlement.htm

It indicates that there are approximately 26,000 tee times monthly.

I figured it was calculated as follows:

Tee times between 7 AM - 5 PM = 10 hours
times 60 minutes/hour = 600 minutes
Divided by tee time every 9 minutes = 67 tee times per course per day
Times 13 courses on the North Side = 867 tee times per day
times 30 days per month = 26,010 tee times per month.

The settlement only applied to CDD's on the north side, Muncie, therefore I am pretty sure that the tee times only applies to these courses. I have sent an email to Joe Gorman, president of the POA. I will let you know what he says if he answers this questions.

I also do not believe the settlement applied to the championship courses (adult courses?) since our amenity fees do not support these facilities.

At some point in the future, the residents south of 466 will probably have to file their own lawsuit against the developer in order to get him to contribute some money towards the maintenance requirements of the facilities that he sells to the CDD's on an ongoing basis.

Like I said, there is as always the ever so slight possibility that I could be wrong. The odds are very, very slim, something on the order of a minuscule asteroid hitting the head of a pin or the Cubs winning the World Series, but it could happen Stranger things have occurred, like Al Gore & Jimmy Carter winning Nobel Peace Prizes. Bottom line, I - c o u l d - b e - w r o n g.

I prefer the term regulation size courses. Executive is an accepted term for a 'short' course. I use the phrase CC on this site when discussing the regulation courses since it could also mean Country Club course.

Just received a email from Joe Gorman, who was involved in the lawsuit, who told me:

"The lawsuit settlement only applies to the VCCDD area north of 466. There is no comparable limit on tee times south of 466."

Guess you know now what the real bottom line is..............the Cubs are going to win the World Series...........NOT.
