Watch next week at Augusta National. I'm sure that you'll see a few examples of a player getting int he wrong place and have no control over his ball.
Another factor in this discussion has to be the speed of the greens. I've seen courses where the greens had such severe slopes to that the speed of the greens had to be slowed. I haven't played here in The Villages, but I doubt that any of the courses have green speeds of 12 or 13.

It's nice to hear an opinion on golf and golf courses from someone who actually has real life experience to draw upon. I am guessing the greens in the Villages are somewhere between 8 to 9. Possibly up to 10 on some courses during the dry summer months, but that is a stretch as the staff probably keeps the grass higher to protect them.
