My wife and I moved to The Villages in February and had never played golf. We went to the Palmer Academy for for the 5 day New to Golf program. Following that we went to the Good Golf seminar. Finally we arrived on the local 9 hole course, talked to the starter and met the Amabassador and told them our situation because we did not want to get in the way of experienced golfers. They said we would have no problems - and we didn't - the Academy and the Good Golf seminar tell you how to get around the course as a beginner.
Evidently the problems occur with beginners who have never played before, have not been to the Academy or taken the Good Golf seminar and turn up on the course with a golf club in their hands for the very first time. So, if you are new to golf I would highly recommend you start out with the New To Golf program at the Palmer Academy - it has served us well.
