Default Executive Courses

I would have written earlier but I could not stop laughing. Its amazing how people can complain about something they get for virtually free. Lets break it down: Executive Courses do 300+ rounds a day. If they rake the bunkers in the a.m. then at least 30-50 people are going thru them who are afraid of rakes. Just take a preferred lie in the bunker unless its in your own pitch mark or looks fine. Once on the green take 2 putts and pick the ball up. Why aggravate yourself. Greens this time of the year are not growing normal, if at all, and so putting will be a little bumpy and some bare. You can't put 300+ rounds on those slightly dormant greens and expect Augusta National. But you do. So you need a reality check.
A good rule of thumb is to pick up the ball after 5 swings and move on. All tee boxes have to do is to accept a tee anything else is window dressing. People are having a really good time out there and on the pitch and putts. If your not, switch to the Championship Courses and play from the 150 yard markers. You may just enjoy the added fee.
