That's what I thought. I was given the "Sticker" and from what I recall (I've only been TV for a year), that Sticker is mean to show the Starters that I've paid full price and can play until I can't see the ball any longer (I was in my own cart).

What baffles me, is all (4) employees had the exact same story. "The play all you want, ended 2 years ago". They were adamant about it and I didn't argue. I was particularly frustrated, because I've been playing poorly lately and have a lessoned scheduled for this morning and I wanted a chance to try a few changes on the course. I could have simply paid the extra $17, but by the time I got sent back to the Pro Shop and listened to all their explanations (apparently wrong ones), I knew I'd get stuck in the darkness, by the time I got to the 4th or 5th hole.

As you or someone else said, I find that time of day, a great time of day to play, especially when I'm playing poorly and trying to sort out my swing. I managed a 45 Hole Country Club a few years back and after working all day, would often get on the course around 5:30 - 6:00 and be able to play 18 holes in less than 2 hours (in a cart, of course). Great practice.

Everyone seems to be in agreement, that I was given wrong information. I understand how difficult it is to get help these days, but (4) employees coming up with the same (wrong) answer, is hard to digest.
