So how would you determine who needs to go and who doesn't? If you ask people, many would say that they don't need to go. Some that do need to go might refuse because, like many in this thread have said, they're not serious golfers.

I've been to a lot of seminars where I was bored for most of the time but found that I always learned something. In addition experienced golfer might even be able to contribute to the conversation. I found that sometimes asking a question to which I already knew the answer would force the speaker to bring up something that other's needed to know.

I don't think that two hours is that big of a deal to make golf in The Villages more enjoyable for everyone.
