FORE!

Dave is on the golf course committee. I'm sure he read today's Post. I'm for saving the course, but not to the extremes advocated in the front page story. Yes, I pay for the health club, even though I don't use it. Yes, I pay for the clubhouse, even though I don't see the movies. But there's a reason why we sold the golf course when we originally owned it. Too bad we couldn't negotiate some sort of partnership, like the in-Village drugstore (do they pay royalties to us?).

Why would a drug store pay royalties to CV? They pay rent to the medical building owner (which is NOT CV).

Excuse me, but just when did "we" own the golf course?

I understood Levy owned the Golf Course and used it to promote condo sales. After most of the units were sold , he sold it off rather than subsidize the amenity or it just didn't make enough money to be bothered with. In either case , it never belonged to CV.

I think we better wake up and smell the roses. Eventually the money losing, run dun golf course will be sold. No one in their right mind keeps a business going that loses money or they go bankrupt. If anyone contemplates that we buy it they need their head examined. We can't afford it. We need a large buffer zone between the course and us and a very high fence. Evntually the course will be sold for whatever the commissioners allow to be built and we need to come to terms with it and make sure we have security between them and us.

$22K annual country club golf membership in Hamlet, ouch, duck and run.
We should continue to beautify the inside of CV. We have great green spaces between buildings, maybe we could take up soccer or croquet.
The ‘golf cmte’ who live on the periphery of the golf course should remember the other 90% of CV who say ‘What golf course? Who cares’.

The close promixity of a Golf Course may have been used in promos
to entice would be buyers, ( a la
Red Button )..but does not appear
in any documents, as part and parcel of the village.

Anyone interested in walking from the "Pro Shop" into Century Village can presently do so. The security to prevent such unauthorized access is non-existent. A gated community is only as secure as it's weakest link. A chain link fence with a perpetual opening offers little security. Glad I live on the other side of the Village!

I think the residents of "Golf's Edge Villas" will be very upset when there is NO more golf to be on the edge of. Maybe they could be known as Al's Pawn Shop Edge Villas or Burger King Edge Villas, or Amigos Mexican Restaurant Edge Villas--you get the point.

Frankly I think the golf course and the adjacent range are an eye sore! We can live without both.

I agree that there needs to be a buffer zone. Perhaps trees and shrubs can be placed as to enhance the beauty of the community.

While we are at it the haverhill road entrance can be up dated with little money. Even if the white paint were replaced with a Tuscan color.

The first entrance drive center island stone and cheap plastic divider can also be replaced with grass to match the rest of the beautiful dividing islands.

I'm sure that a few gallons of paint and some sod plus labor are not big money projects.

If we don't get Sal Bummalo OFF the Irrigation Committee, there will be no tress/shrubs left in CV to buffer anything!!
