How Did We Get Here?

In a Thread started on 7.23.22 by Bill Pearson, he creates a Timeline for those interested in how we got to the situation that we are in regarding Golf in Sun City. (Residents and Non-Resident Play)

Yesterday on the Sun City Advocates Facebook page, we got a great question from Nia Maxwell asking simply; "how did we get here?" The "here" meaning a place where outside full play passes were being sold to non-residents who had access to our web portal and were playing golf for far less than what Sun City residents were paying less than many of us would should we want to golf. In addition, they were literally able to get tee times ahead of members.

A Voice in the Wilderness

 I guess it's just me that cares about Robert's Rules of Order, and I think that opinion will be validated by the lack of comments/replies this thread will receive!

When I read the article in the Independent today (7.18) regarding "Pickleball at Lakeview" it just drove me crazy...again!

First: Recently the GM was extremely hesitant about the motion by the LRPC to purchase trial fitness equipment.  He stated he would rather wait until the 2023 budget to add it then.

Marone: Sun City residents must be part of solution

Posted Friday, July 15, 2022 11:00 am

After reading last week’s Independent it’s become apparent that, at least to me, the Recreation Centers of Sun City has got us right where they want us. Especially when you read that out of more than 38,000 residents only just more than 1,700 voted to elect their members of the board. So what does that mean? Does that mean 36,300 don’t care what happens in Sun City? Are they simply living the good life fat, dumb and happy, paying their assessment and letting somebody else take care of things? I believe most have at least some concern!

It's Not Even About Golf Anymore ?

Part 1 - Today's Board Meeting

 

I will go into detail below, today's board meeting was stunning. Here's why:

1). The board told us loud and clear, their job is about protecting non-members who buy full play golf passes.

2). Those of us living here and subsidizing golf should not expect to be able to get on a course when these non-members want to play.

3). Worse yet, they told us it is perfectly okay with them (the board) if those non-members can play golf on our courses for less than we pay. ($35 for us, $20 for them).

4). Even more staggering is the board told us they didn't want to infringe on managements right to set golf rates. I freaking kid you not. Was there a single person in the room who knows the history of setting golf rates?
