I've been playing golf since 1962 so I really didn't pick up too much of anything new, but it was interesting. One thing I learned was how to leave the rake once you leave a bunker.

I really wanted to find out about the reservation system. I didn't think the woman leading that section was all that clear. My main question was what did the 'wave' times in the newspaper mean. All she had to say was it's the time that is set aside for assigning teetimes, if you request a time that's not during a wave, then it's not available. Of course once I went online and saw the available times then it was easier to understand. Maybe they should bring in a notebook computer and demonstrate the process would be helpful.
Good idea, did you share it with the instructor??
