Default Beginning golfers and unrealistic golfers.

It has been my experience in playing with a lot of new golfers here in the last eight years that in my whole life I have not seen such rapid improvement from beginner to "can play anywhere" generally speaking. Not only that, but new golfers often quickly emerge as really GOOD golfers, being born with wonderful eye hand coordination and athletic ability, apparently, and leaving this seasoned not too coordinated golfer in the dust.


I don't know if it is they have the time to devote to the game or find it quickly to be as addicting as I do, but new golfers don't stay new golfers here very long.


BUT....I am amazed and astonished at the choice of tees by veteran golfers. Way TOO often folks will choose the black tees when they should be using the gold or green on the executive courses.


Just my musings this morning.
