I don't care about the math. Per Don's explanation, it's more of the principle. Everyone riding the Exec courses should pay for the wear and tear. If the District(s) are not getting any revenue from the Developer's Trail Fees, this should be corrected. For those doing the math, just realize how this gets compounded as we keep expanding in an exponential manner?
As for the CAP(formerly RA), I agree with the doc. They should pay for those passes. Of course, I have a very strong opinion about those individuals/privileges, as well. As a former Ambassador, I witnessed so many extreme violations, that I welcomed the new CAP process. Unfortunately, I now witness that this changed very little. I continue to see individuals driving ALL OVER the courses! Then, watch the individual get out of the cart, with very little effort. THAT, is what tears up these courses! NOT the damage to the greens! If that was the case, the walkers would be paying a fee, as well?! The upkeep of these courses will always be a no-win situation until they strictly enforce the policy(s)!
