To call the tees on exec courses that add 15 yards to a 95 yard hole "black" is almost an oxymoron---well moronic at best. On the rare occasion I've played an exec, I'm amused at those that marvel at others who play the "black" tees----geez, it's not like teeing it up at 7600 yards at Torrey pines.
Along those lines, 2 years ago when my 11 year old granddaughter came to visit we played Palmetto. The starter, and I quote stated "This a difficult course, the girl might not be able to handle it from the front tees" My response---"She'll be playing the black tees with the rest of us". She shot 35 on par 29, only because she took a triple on one hole.

When you're playing in a golf environment, that puts your photo in the newspaper, because you made a "hole in one", playing a 55 yard hole at MickeyLee Pitch & Putt, you can't expect folks playing the free golf courses, are going to be attune to proper golf etiquette at Seminole CC.
I had an Ambassador ask me last week, on the 15th hole, how I was playing. I said, "I'm 3 over to here", he said "oh well, Triple Bogey isn't bad, this is a hard hole."
