Yes, it is a shame! And they've really learned how to use their ownership to its full advantage, haven't they?

Yes! That was a very, very positive published article and there are many more stories liked this, that have been published or written. IMHO.

The story says they stay off-season for $800 MFs plus $160 exchange fee. It also says they use II (Getaways/ACs I assume), and pay $350 for a 2nd and 3rd week in the off-season. So my advice to them would be this: Why not just book all 3 weeks at $350 each? The strategy should be to get II membership at the lowest possible cost since they only need off-season travel.

I'm more surprised that this guy is a golfer and has never actually set foot on Hilton Head Island. He might actually enjoy using what he bought.
