So tell me why I should be REQUIRED to sit in a class with those that are new to the game and don't know the difference between a club and a ball???? I would be better off practicing putting. I'm sure there are many others who have similar golf experience and would be wasting their time in "good golf" class. (BTW, is this the same class that tells you it is OK to move your ball out of a bunker, improve your lie in the fairway or rough, or take 5 foot gimmes ? If so, they should change the name from "good golf" to good "whatever the heck game you are playing"

Because you might learn about local rules and customs? When you have a group of new golfers as the group ahead of you, you will appreciate the teaching of it being OK to improve you lie, and take gimmes. It speeds the play along so that experienced golfers like yourself won't have to wait as long for the group ahead.
