It makes for a better experience for the better player. I think this is the same for golf, or for any sport. To each his own.n

"A lot of play" does not excuse lack of respect for the course and other players. Pitch marks on the greens, and footprints in bunkers have nothing to do with the number of players. It has everything to do with inconsiderate and disrespectful players. And it doesn't take a professional caretaker on a PGA played course to take a little interest in understanding the proper pin placements. I blame the manager for not making sure his/her employees understand the basics of pin placement, cutting holes, and setting tees.

Where is there unkept course in the villages? Millions of dollars spent to keep them up! If they are unkept then maybe we don't need no more?
