Played Glenview today (conditions were great but greens were scary fast with downhill/down grain putts). Asked in the clubhouse, starter shacks for each 9, and two ambassadors, all about what happened to the flagstick prisms. Nobody had an answer and all seemed tight lipped, except for one person. Word is that the Villages has a contract with the Company that sells the Golf Buddy GPS based course mapping software. Apparently, eliminating the ease of using laser rangefinders might increase the sales of the products the Villages is in bed with?
