Many (most/all??) of the southern executives have a separately printed slip of paper, available at the starter shack, with the yardages from the 3 tee boxes. These slips of paper are, as far as I can tell, identical to the yardages that are available on the web. For example,

Why the scorecards lack this information is a mystery to me.

I've been trying to get a feel for the executive courses so I've been trying to play different ones. Yesterday I played Bogart and I noticed that this course has no yardage numbers on the scorecard or tee signs. There are yardage markers on the ground at each of the teeing areas, but I would like to get an idea of the total yardage of each course from the back middle and front tees. I noticed that these numbers are not on the website either.

So far I've played, Hilltop, Silver Lake, Mira Mesa El Diablo, De La Vista, Pimlico and Bogart and this is the first one that doesn't have this information.

Any idea why The Villages stopped showing this information on the scorecards?

Bogart was in decent shape by the way, however several of the greens had some serious issues and all of them were extremely slow compared to Pimlico.
