Impressive Post
Printed this out and stored in my Villages data file.
This is something that can be shown to friends, to give them an idea of how much is available to people in TV. Only seeing how beautiful TV is, will surely help to convince people to move to paradise. |

If there are 9000 tee times per day it adds up to a lot more than the (stated) 125,000 rounds played in 09.

This is what I was looking at:
Champioship Rounds in 2009 = 67,000 Executive Rounds in 2009 = 58,000 No matter how you look at it, a lot of golf is played here. I wonder what the maximum number of tee times would be if every one was filled and every one was played?

THANKS for this! It is truly helpful, especially when trying to explain to non-villagers.

Depends on where the secretary obtained the information.

jebartle, the query was not based on "questioning"....not at all!!!
Some of us just have a deeper need to know, based on individual experience.
It is more usual than not, for the source to be provided with such information. Has nothing to do with the subject matter or the presenter....just a reasonable expectation. btk |

Interesting data. If accurate and at the current build rate of 200 per month, the remaing approx. 15,000 homes will be complete in a little over 6 years. However, I expect that with more and more boomers retiring and with an improving economy, the pace will pick up and buildout will occur sooner than that.

Here is one piece of data that I question:

I wouldn't be surpised if TV makes additional land aquisitions
adjacent to the current holdings and just keep going. Why would they end a good money making machine?
After a certain size is accomplished, perhaps they will go else where to keep the $$$ pump primed. btk |
