In January, as a test program, Egret at EP and Torri Pines at NL are 9 holes all day. Call tee time office in advance, or course on day of play.

That's it. Except to mention Egret has been pretty empty---I guess fewer people want to pay $18.50 for 9 as opposed to a "free" exec. But this time of year, it's a great option for getting on a course at the last minute.
golfing eagles: my definition of KISS application concerning this issue is that I can go on the tee time system and select either 9 or 18 holes on any championship golf course here. Its done all over the country and in fact is one of the strategies by the golf industry to bring back the 5 million or so people who left the game. Playing 9 was a double assist here in that it reduced the cost and reduce the play time as some folks complained golf took too long ...its how "ready play" and "while I 'm young" have become the golf mantra

That's my story and I'm sticking to it
