Hard to believe the "free" thing is worth ruining a course for experienced golfers because somebody wants to be able to show kids or non-golfers what Gramps does down here. I can not believe real golfers did this damage. It felt like looking at an animal that has been seriously wounded. If respect for the course and others can not be enforced, I'd like to stop this annual "freebie". Naturally, the free-loaders will have another thing to bitch about, but so what?
Isn't Volusia an executive? It's free year round. Any resident can play it for free and bring a paying guest. CHRISTMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. PEOPLE EITHER HAVE RESPECT FOR THINGS OR NOT. I SEE ON THE COURSES ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR. JUST MORE OF THEM NOW.
