The people that abuse the R/A tags and park next to the greens and drive between the bunkers and the greens, the people that fail to fix ball marks and fill their divots, the people that pull up to the tees and pull off the cartpaths to gain that 1 1/2 foot advantage, the people that ignore cart path only conditions and drive out on the fairways, the people that cut the ropes on areas marked off - that's what the complaints should be directed towards.

If you don't like the courses or conditions, move to your place of nirvana. If you don't like the courses or conditions, play somewhere else, ALL THE TIME, outside the bubble. If you don't like the courses or conditions because it hurts your game, get better.

Good lord, enough is freaking enough.

We have the right to comment on course conditions both good and bad. That's the point of a forum. We can get a heads up on the good, the bad, and the ugly. Go play Seminole on Belle Glade and tell me how great the greens are. There's no excuse for those kinds of conditions on a champion course. It has nothing to do with players abusing the course.
