It can be a sticky wicket. Who owns the land on which the event takes place? What is public and what is private land in the Villages. Things here are not as clear cut as in other parts of the US.

TV as in The Villages business.

As far as the clubs go, I have no information on that. This is the first I'm hearing of this. How often do clubs have corporate sponsored events?

I have witnessed all kinds of rivalry in business and the best way to handle a situation like this in the free market is to act like it didn't happen, doesn't bother you and continue on. It is like road rage, tooting your horn and flipping a finger doesn't help at all.

Medicare truly is a sticky wicket. The Villages promotes United Health Care by way of a "basic medicare" LLCollege course taught by a UHC salesman.
The Villages receives royalties from United Health Care. The Villages health system refuses to serve those with original medicare. I refuse to be locked in to a monopoly of providers. IMO, There are better specialists than those attracted by the gold rush.

That's a load of you know what. I for one am glad that Par Car is standing up to big brother or big sister. Competition is what makes this country great.

No one has mentioned the other GolfCart businesses that sell Yamaha and Clubcar nearby. They aren't making a ruckus.

Very true. Club Car on 27/441 (Cart World) would have the most reason to "rumble and grumble" because up until recently they had a lock on Club Car but now the Village Carts and others are selling new Club Carts. It's all business---isn't this a great country or what? Bottom line, it's The Developer's show and he can run it anyway he pleases.

So just to be clear:

Many people here, if they had a business, would openly invite their competition to an event they are hosting to sell against them?

It's worth repeating that this is no longer organized by GolfWeek magazine.

You probably missed the airplane circling around the Polo Fields towing a ParCar advertisement.

My point is that kinda stuff makes that company look desperate and dateless.
