It's been 9 years, I'll try to remember. A lady from the Golf Admin comes at first and talks about fees, and priority, renting carts, dress codes, practice facilites and the operation of our golf courses. Then another fellow comes in and tries to explain how to make a teetime using the phone, which no one really understands and so he'll say you can join the computer version for $8 a month. Then a pro comes from one of the courses and tells you things like the little beacons about 50 yards in front of the greens, mean don't drive your cart any closer. The beacons on the cart path are the suggested places to part your cart. The rake should be place inside the trap with the handle pointed to the edge of the bunker and head toward the middle. All these kinds of things. It's about 2-1/2 hours and I wasn't really bored. I was a new resident and wanted to get going.
