I agree with the good golf school requirement. Played mens day at De La Vista on Tuesday. After being closed for months for repairs, the greens look like a mine field again. Numerous divots not touched, numerous divots repaired incorrectly leaving more of a mess. You honestly have no idea where the ball will end up and how it will roll. We have also witnessed numerous people that are new to the game playing the back tees, hitting at least two balls for every tee shot. Another popular sport is packing up your cart, discussing your lunch plans etc while parked next to the green after finishing out. Another favorite is when you have a neighboorhood group, men or women, who have to yell and party while they are waiting to tee off. The poor people on the tee are subjected to boistrus laughing, screaming, cackling etc. To sum up this rant, yes....people need to be taught golf etiquette. However, if no one is there to correct bad etiquette....it will continue. Remember.....YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!
