A Long long time ago ( like year 2000 ) all the courses were empty and everyone lined up with no one minding the course and nothing bad happened. Then the word spread about the free golf and they started to abuse the course and non-golfers who never played the game started to drive golf cart even on the green and dig up the course. So the villages started to staff the course at least to prevent the chaos on the first ( or any ) tee box. When the line shortens ( if ever ) staffs go home so you may not see any staffs after 12:00 or so. If you go golf on that day, you need ultimate patience. You might have to wait 30 minutes on one hole till 4 some in front of you finish that hole after40+ shots without putting out.

Good Luck everyone. I hope the courses are playable on Monday.

Cheers!
