Gross overstatement imho.

Whether or not it might be technically against some rule or another, play is allowed. It's done so commonly in the summer that there is no doubt the powers-that-be know it happens. It's simply a no-harm-no-foul situation.

And I'm not really convinced it's against the rules. It's legal to play the champs after the shack closes in the summer. The Ambassador gives you a "receipt" when he crosses your path, and you go to the clubhouse to pay your green fees the next day...perfectly legal and sanctioned. And for residents who have paid their annual trail fees, I fail to see any difference for the Executives. You simply don't have to go pay your fees...they're already paid.
