I had expected the priority golf rate to decrease substantially, since it will now includes a lot less value. How naive am I? Needless to say I won't be renewing my priority golf when it expires on July first. It's value has gone to less than zero for me.

May I assume you play both CC and exec courses? If so, let's say you go for the whole enchilada----$925 priority, $132 exec and $260 pool = $1317 + $92.19 sales tax= $1409.19. At the current savings of $17/ round on CC courses, you would have to play 83 rounds in a year between the 2 of you to break even, or less than 1 round/week. If you both play 2 rounds/week there would be a savings of 52x4x17=$3536 less the $1409 or net $2127----plus you get to play all of the exec golf you want at no additional charge and then relax at a pool. Hardly a value that has gone to "less than zero".
