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.

Well, one suggestion would be a 20 item questionnaire based on the class regarding etiquette and more common rules. Anyone who passes with 90% could be exempt from "school".
I still disagree with your premise---there are many who would be bored out of their minds for 2 hours. As to those experienced golfers who ignore etiquette---they would take a mandatory class and then go right on ignoring etiquette. And I'm not there to "bring up something" that others need to know----that is the instructors job. In all fairness to you, however, I don't play executive courses so I have no idea how bad it is out there, but I can imagine.
