We amateurs average +18 strokes over the pros at best. The pros rarely have a lost ball due to the gallery watching or rarely hit a provisional. May I suggest to these guys "ready golf". As my wife asks me many times how can you watch that - it's like watching grass grow. Perhaps she has a point.
Perhaps you'd understand better if your Villages game was being played for a purse of $1,800,000! Lots different than a $2 Nassau.
