I am suggesting that non-golfers be given an opportunity to enjoy seeing the courses without having to play golf. A once or twice a year event doesn’t seen too much to ask. Plus, more of the general public would become aware of the issues golfers have with untrained people on the course.

I suppose I could take up the suggestion to just take a time with my wife to just putt some of the courses. However, I would rather be in an organized group that is lead around the course. "

I will go to a starter shack to ask how it might be done! And, I have made the suggestion of a special event on the Villages survey forum.
Twoplanekid: As I already mentioned in my previous post, (#25) my first thought "this won't fly". No pun intended. But... I thought you have a creative idea and why not give it a go!

As usual you have disagreement among posters, especially those with strong opinions. With few exceptions, most of us like "things" the way they are in The Villages. Thinking "outside the box" is rarely acceptable especially in a sport as old and traditional as golf. Enough said. I look forward to meeting you sometime around The Villages.
