If I'm not mistaken, Points are reset every Sunday.

It's like that at every golf course I know. The other quirk about Sundays, are afternoons are typical "teach your wife/girlfriend to play golf" day. Those days can be painfully slow.

Should be more than a call - i.e. additional points stick to your account for 2 or 3 weeks

Add in "course design" and you have the trifecta!

At least two courses, OBH and Lopez Legacy, and possibly more, prebook these groups on a regular weekly basis to the detriment of Priority Members who compete for Tee Times through TV Tee Time System. These privileged groups include both Priority and Non-Priority Golfers.

Paying an annual Priority Membership Fee ($777) is supposed to provide certain privileges such as having priority for booking over groups that include non-Priority members. All groups in addition are supposed to be prioritized for booking purposes based on total group playing points that have been accumulated during the past 7 days. By pre booking groups of 32 or more players irrespective of these rules, Golf Administration has established a prejudicial procedure in violation of the benefits upon which they sell Priority Memberships.

After referring this issue to Golf Administration, I was essentially told, sorry, that's the way it is. It seems that they don't care if they violate the very precepts under which they sell Priority memberships to the detriment of all of us Priority members who play by the rules. If enough of you express your concerns about this to Golf Administration, perhaps they will be obliged to review and eliminate this practice that clearly violates the terms under which Priority Memberships are sold.

After discussions with Golf Adm it is clear that their position on this issue is that they can do whatever they want. They do not agree they are are doing anything wrong by allowing pre booked non priority golfers to override the basic precepts of their own tee time system. Trying to discuss this with them is akin to banging your head against a brick wall. When in Rome you must do what the Romans say! End of story!!!

I see this post died and went to heaven. Another win for the Villages who seem to get away with anything they set their minds to.

Did they even have a golf course when he built his mobile home park?
