(If they like this idea, I'm sure you'll see a corresponding $2.00 increase in Green Fees).
I actually have re-written my response after re-reading the post and your comments, and surmise that your note was in reference to the OPs comment about a 50% increase versus the actual cost of the candy bar. Assuming that to be the case, you may have inadvertently opened yourself up for repeat criticism with the free candy bar comment. The short of it is that someone, somewhere, is not going to agree. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I would only suggest that we all ignore any piling on and fo myself, I'll thank the OP for the head's up on the cost of a candy bar at the starter's shack.

By the way, I don't know who said it, but the quote is something like this: "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to protect your right to say it".
