I would propose since many of us enjoy the Executive Golf Courses, we take a different approach to supporting the greens keepers. Instead of raising rates, no one wants that, why don't we ask The Villages to place some Greens Divot Repair tools on the green and we can help, after all, the reason the greens are in bad shape is because many of us are not repairing the ball mark on greens, I may be guilty as well on occasion. Perhaps if TV buys enough for 4 courses and distributes them to different courses, we all can pitch in and fix the issue. As it is, these courses are over played and until we find a way to help resolve the issue, no additional fee or separation of tee times is going to fix the issue. I think it is better to take a Root Cause analysis approach to the issue and we, the ones that see the issue fix the issue. Open to suggestion, but before I get a snarky response, let's remember, the people that are causing the issue are not the ones who are going to fix the issue, it's the old 80/20 rule, 80% cause the problem and 20% fix the problem. Lastly, I agree with some of the comments about the Ambassador, but they should be enforcing speed of play and other issues and we all should be good patrons and fix the greens.
