I would believe an event, call it what you may, at a golf course to let people see a course in person with their wife’s or significant others would be popular and successful.

We pilots give of our time and money to teach others about flying. The same could be true of a golf cart caravan through a course once every year for the non-golfers under the supervision of knowledgeable golfers.
I have been a golfer (of sorts) for more than forty years and I haven't ever seen anything remotely like this happening. I have lived on Golf Courses for most of that time too. I think it would not have popular appeal. That is just my opinion. I have never wanted to go look at an airport, or inside a surgical suite, see the top of the Hancock Building, look at hogs give birth or visit a house of ill repute. I know they are there, and I am good with no viewing.

You might prove me wrong by doing a poll on this. I am frequently wrong. However, it doesn't keep me from debating.
