To improve that program and then to make it mandatory for a residents to have taken the three hour class before playing is something that TV should consider. I took the class about two months after moving here. I've been playing since 1962, so there wasn't much new for me, but I did learn some of local procedures, such as how to return the rake to the bunker. That's the place where we can start in educating the public.

I would be willing to take the class and I can safely say that I don't need to.

I haven't taken it but I've heard, as you say that it is mostly about how to make tee times.
