Most of all of these women didn’t start playing golf until they moved to The Villages. Folks who have single handicaps have been playing golf for well over 20 years... The issue is, it uneven’s the playing field and it’s no longer any fun, when the same person places first, week after week. There is no way anyone can gain the skill level of a single handicapper, based on their experience and time playing. Sure if one devoted 8 hrs a day practicing and playing. I’m sure the 72+ Retiree women play for fun and socializing.Playing a scramble where the same people win, week after week, takes fun out of playing.

It’s been said they’re practicing their short game during the scramble. Why not get a group of friends together practice some other time. Why practice on Ladies Day? No one is jealous of their skill, just tired of being used and the fun being taken out of playing executive ladies day. Go play with the big girls, who play at your level.

These single handicappers, just want to be a “big fish” in a small pond. It’s all about EGO and getting their name in print.
Looks like you got your name in print 5 times by posting the same crap over and over. Ladies' day (and men's) are open to everyone. There will always be golfers (and tennis players and bridge players and bowlers) that are better than you, get over it.
