I didn't realize the goal of exec golf was to "chase marginal players away". It seems that the suggestion appears to be that "better" exec players should more of a right to getting the tee time they want over "lesser" players or beginners
That is NOT the spirit of this great game.
I don't play exec courses but from my point of view I can only laugh at those who think because they are better than others on exec courses that somehow they are Jack Nicklaus.
Let's engage in some reductio ad absurdum: Let's create a hierarchy of handicaps for full size courses. 0-5 get the best tee times, then 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20. Over 20 can only play on rainy days or get kicked over to an exec course. Shoot over 100 and you have to go to remedial golf school. Break a rule and you're banned for 2 weeks.
You see, there is only one best amateur golfer in The Villages so he should always play when he wants and have the right to kick anyone else off their tee time.
It's pretty clear where I was going with this, but there are doubts I'll be happy to play you from the black tees at Glenview or Tierra for say $1,000 per hole
