I think that misses the point of the thread. Certainly a golfer appreciates free golf and any volunteering. The point is that if you let kids or adults on the course who don't know any better they will damage the course because they can't hit a ball.

Regular golfers know that not climbing off the bank of a sand trap, only putting on a green, hitting a ball without damaging the ground or slightly damaging the ground and making the repair is part of the game.

You wouldn't allow kids shoot pool if you knew they didn't have the skills to not touch the cloth. So if you let the kids unintentionally screw up the tables one day a year why should the pool shooters say thank-you?
