I noticed these handy-dandy, informative signs are now cluttering up our scenic views around the neighborhood. I'm not sure if it is our homeowners association fees at work or the golf course that is behind them.
In all the time I've lived here in this golf course community, where every other house has an in-ground swimming pool, it has never occurred to me to take a dip in the pond. I've never seen any one else cooling off on a hot summer afternoon in a slimy, algae coated puddles that we call "golf course lakes" either. Not one person swimming, wading, splashing, bouncing on floats, playing Marco Polo or chicken fights in the deep part. Not one.
Good thing we have signs up now just in case my children suddenly decide to take a dip with that cute little Gary the Gator we have out back instead of our nice fresh pool. Now, I can so "No, it is against the rules." instead of my standard reply,
"ARE YOU CRAZY!!?? There are gators in
there!!".
I've always refrained from swimming on the golf course for the obvious reason; because I figured cute little Gary's mom or dad looks about like this..
