I personally do not mind the PVC. Though I can play a pretty decent round of golf, I don't keep score because golf shouldn't be taken serious. Its just for fun.

If you are a serious golfer and you get a tee time at one of the PVC courses, life will go on.

Ditch the PVC pipe!!!!

Harbor Hills and Black Bear both have foam rubber discs in the hole that rests about 1 inch below the surface of the green. You still hole out and there is no problem picking your ball out of the hole without touching anything. Far superior to the pipe, and probably cheaper as well, doesn't change the nature of golf.
