Our Tuesday, Saturday Afternoon golf group plays by USGA rules. The only game we do not play is quota points. We roll them in the fairway (I didn't make that rule), play the ball down in the rough and if the putt counts it must be holed. As a rule everyone putts all of them out for accurate USGA handicaps. Our foursome played Evans Prairie today in 3 hours and forty five minutes. Years ago all the guys played the blue tees, then the white tees. Now they can play any tee they want and we adjust their USGA handicap to match. All members have to have an Enhanced membership so we have priority for tee times, it pays for itself if you play twice a week from January to June. Players handicaps range from 0 to about 22. We have lost a lot of snowbirds at the moment, and they start coming back about September or October. We try to mix the foursomes up as best we can. We do not play Sawgrass or Shallow Creek because we have so many golfers who live north of 466. We try to mix up the courses as best we can, and keep a close eye on aeration schedules.
