CHOOSE NOT--TO BE A'' MUSHROOM'' !

IN THE SIXTEEN YEARS THAT I HAVE LIVED IN THE FAIRWAYS--THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT, FEATURE ARTICLE THAN IS PRINTED  IN THE AUGUST ''EAGLE'' NEWSPAPER!
I would hope that every homeowner reads the factual, true account of---- ''LOSS OF AMENITIES AT FAIRWAYS COUNTRY CLUB''.
  Every homeowner needs to know what has happened and what is currently going on, in our beloved community.
 Most of us have heard the descriptive narrative
 of how mushrooms are raised---WE SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN THE DARK BY ANYONE---HTA OR HOA ABOUT IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ISSUES .
  We need to read the ''Eagle'' for starters---then plan on attending our HOA meetings---both board and regular resident meetings. ---YEAH---I know it's a Bitch,--- in an overcrowded , hot cracker-box--BUT--it needs to be done, before it's too late!
 Lately there has been a lot of talk and rumor about ,private,secret board meetings, concerning legal planning by OUR board. All of these subjects should be explained and brought forward at the next two meetings, conducted by our HOA.-----If not,---problems will only be compounded.
  Many years ago --[ before the age of ''super stars''] an old entertainer would say to his audience--''YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTHIN YET''---Folks,--my gut feeling is that that old statement could apply to our community that we have all invested our hearts and souls in. --- None of us is privileged to know what we will be screwed out of next!----Could it be bingo?or??????
  The removal of the lettering up front was not caused by ''mother nature''. ---Gone is ''A 55+ COMMUNITY'' description---In it's place is a ''AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITY'' ---The later description has one hell of a lot more latitude than the first title!---AGE RESTRICTIONS CAN BE JUST ABOUT WHATEVER HTA WANTS IT TO BE!---I put about as much faith in their explanation as I do the ''CRAP'' printed in ''Hometowns Corner'', at the bottom of the Eagle front page!
  LAST BUT NOT LEAST--READ THE BLOGS!--Both blogs have information that generates communication . The 2 blogs are not related,--but have the same mission---TO INFORM THE COMMUNITY!
  WE NEED COMMUNICATION IN THE FAIRWAYS AS NEVER BEFORE!---SEE YOU AT THE MEETINGS NEXT WEEK!

I hate too have to be that person but pool monitors aren't a amenity. A pool is. Cable control agin not amenity. Even though less space the clubhouse is still a amenity. Yes the course is public but still a amenity to us. We lost the 19th hole but by the rules still has food making it a amenity. A article like this in the paper just hurts our case no?

We have no case because the HOA will not get off of their ASSES and get the advice from an attorney we are just being held here as PUPPETS with HTA dangling our strings as they choose END OF STORY what is coming down the road next at us we are at the mercy of the office and their whims as they see fit for our undoing having lived here for many years I have never seen this park in such bad shape and an office that can dictate what and when they want and turn round and laugh at us and our futile efforts to exist it is a sad state that I have never seen before we are now worse than DEERWOOD they are much better off than we are this months Eagle should be shown to all who come in her to buy a "HOME" minds would be changed bet on it LET'S GET OF OUR ASSES HOA and GET AN ATTORNEY STAND UP LIKE A REAL RESIDENT NOT A FRIEND OF HTA THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Kudos to the person that wrote the top article in the Eagle front page great job for standing up for the Fairways, that being said the article on the bottom of the front page is just more BS that we have been hearing since that person became the Supervisor of Fairways you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time ( SO SHE THINKS).

5.00 is about 5000.00 total form all of us.thats 60000.per year. the gate attendant is for the public gulf players to get in let billy Casper pay that things were better before he came here

Hey Chicago will you please get rid of Gena Steve and miss Priss and get this park back to some sort of normal !!!!!!!! We are just being ruined. We all need to get a for sale sign in our yards to discourage any new buyers.

If we thought it would do any good we would BEG miss Priss to please leave and give a chance to try a new direction just to see if we could get some togetherness back in this park.

Are you kidding me she is sitting on this lunch wagon and laughing at all of us because we are pissed off and she get's off on that the queen will never depart this free ride.

Lorie, have you ever thought they want golfers here? And not public golfers but resident members? That way we don't have to be open to the public.

You clearly don't golf because you call the workers Caspers "yayhoos". If you did you would see workers are all very nice. Maybe non golfers are part of the problem. I say bring in more resident golfers and make it a real country club since it is in the name of the place.

We bought here in January, 2015 because of the golf course, ponds, amenities and close to shopping, and gated security(haha).

Why would "OUR" elected board members be holding secret meetings? I don't quite understand that. If that indeed is the case. As far as the golf course goes, the culture here in the faiways has changed over the years. When I originally moved in, the majority of the people here were retired and they played golf. Now a lot of the new residents are people who still work... Therefore, they can only play golf on the weekends. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is because of the Non golfers that caused the course to go public. I think that there are so many people saying so many things about so many things, that it is hard to believe anything anymore. Hence, all the rumors, and no matter where you go, the pool, the mail boxes, this is all you hear. Rumors!!

1:13 you got that right

Long time resident said...

Your RUMORS as you put it are REALITY,WAKE UP it's 2015 now and Mrs.Priss. is ruining our community!!!!

It was posted by Bill H. that there are two blogs that we should follow to keep up communications, but I only know of this Fairways Watch Blog, what is the other blog? Or have I misunderstood. Thanks, Michealia.

re: 1.13 Hope you are right but miss Priss has always told us the distance between houses, actual house not including storage areas, screen porches etc. is fifteen feet (another lie) because now the distance is ten feet!!!!!! Anyone else confirm this. We know miss Priss reads this blog maybe she can weigh in on this.

Anonymous said...

The distance is 15 feet any home placed closer is subject to removal at the owners expense. That is what code says.

Unknown said...

Michealia, the other website is through nextdoor.com... you just look up Fairways on the site and register yourself. the url i see on mine is fairwaysfl.nextdoor.com...

Re:12:18 Where do we find the printed word as the code saying 15 feet or removal etc. We would like to look this up. Thanks for the info.

Anonymous said...

I would think the fire dept. could answer the question about distance between homes

Unknown said...

Thanks Gillian Leigh, I will try this. MC

Re: 2:18 Still waiting word on being able to find out about the "CODE" or are you just throwing that out as a scare tactic? If you hope we will go away, we are not going away. Come on give us the info we ask for. We believe you tried to scam us out. SORRY!!!

agree with you fully Lorie at 8/2 at 9:00....get rid of Billy "yahoo" Caspers group...I agree with you fully....if they knew what they were doing why are they taking over....and to whom this concerns I am a member for the last year here after being one for 14 years

Anonymous said...

Isn't their an irrigation system going in right now? Seems pretty dumb that anyone would not remain a member once it is finish especially if you've been one for 14 years. Sounds like someone is just trying to complain, I have found the billy Casper yayhoos/yahoos very pleasent and very knowledgeable. Evry golfer I know feels the same, and I for one am finally looking forward to paying my dues for next year because I know the facility is going to be in much BETER shape!!!...!!!
