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.
I started playing in '62 and took Good Golf School in 2011 and found it interesting. Especially when they had the pro teach a segment of the class. The reservation via telephone segment was totally confusing and accomplished one thing, I knew I needed to join villages.net and pay $8 a month for the computer version.
