The very nice lady at the starter shack was fine with it, but added "this is a level 3 course (whatever that means), so the girl might have trouble even from the front tees". My response was simple---"That shouldn't be a problem since she will be playing the black tees with the rest of us" She shot 34 never using more than a 6 iron.

is a term rarely used here in the villages, but I guess there will always be some folks who think their opinion(based on their experiences)is the last WORD. It's unfortunate that the game is supposed to teach us to be humble lest we upset the golf gods and be damned with an unpredictable case of the shanks or yips.
I don't think a person who keeps name dropping famous courses is anything but the opposite of what they portray.
There are many fine golfers here in the villages. I've played with few. none are braggarts or put down the value of exec. courses.
