Been playing for over 50 years...hndcp now is about a 2-3 on the championships(blue/white tees) and scratch or better on the exec's(from black or gold tees)...only played championships till I moved here a few years ago at age 58 because they didn't have exec's in Maine or Virginia when I played as a teenager...I really like the exec's for the time they take and they are in very fine condition for the most part...I still like the championships as they test more aspects of my game, but play hell with my lower back when I go more than 9 holes...you still have to hit the shots on exec's, but because I'm teed up for most of the round I rarely have full 2nd shots into the greens(except for the par 4's...and even then it's usually a wedge)...

I play mostly exec's for the time and fun factor...once the social sec kicks in(if it's still around)I'll play more championships, but will still play mostly exec's...
