Don, I played golf for years with no rangers on the golf course. I can count the number of hours, when I was a kid, that I was out on a course alone, walking and carrying my bag. I would play in the rain and often would finish at night playing the last two or three holes in the dark.

People play thousands of rounds all over the world without rangers there to look after them.

Have we really gotten to the point where we can be out on a golf course without a babysitter?
