Far and distant memory for me scores like that!
We stick to Execs now.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question ...

I played a Championship Course today and was paired with 2 great guys. One was probably mid 70's & the other, likely upper 70's.

They played the Green Tees. The younger of the 2, made 1 Par today. The other fellow averaged about 2 over par on every hole. HIs average drive was about 150 yards.

I'm not suggesting they don't have a perfect right to play any course they want, they paid their money & golf is for everyone. My question is more "practical". Why spend $50 to play a Championship course, when it seems an Executive course would be way more fun, given the state of their golf game. I've never played an Executive course, so I don't really have a frame of reference and I'm curious.

Again, I'm not trying to denigrate my playing partners golf game or any such thing. I'm just wondering. If it was me, I think I'd save the $50!
