I sent a mail to villages.com but wonder if there is a better way.

People love the pleasure of making long drives, but for a large percentage of players who want to improve, spending hours pitching and putting will help their score a lot more. Think how many players drive bucket after bucket of balls at driving ranges but never pitch buckets and learn to place the pitched balls accurately. Pitch and putt courses focus on what may be the hardest parts of the game for most players.
