But these "free" courses are great for those wanting or needing to practice everyday before attempting the championship courses.
Hmmmm, I play "championship" courses regularly and have played some tour courses but not Pebble. I love to play the executive courses, and usually try to play the level three and four tracks. I find the execs in TV to be mostly well maintained and designed and in some cases quite challenging (tell your hubby to try Pelican). I don't look at them as "practice" for the championship courses, but rather a unique experience on their own. I usually play in ninety minutes or less and enjoy not always having to slog through a five hour round. Everybody has to find their own comfort zone - mine is rather sizeable.
