Sorry you have missed the point of this thread. Ranting and raving about course conditions on a message board that is independent of TV will accomplish nothing except raise blood pressures. From the input of other posters, it is apparent that contacting golf administration as an individual nets nothing. (Especially if terms such as ignorant, cheapskate, or uncaring are used.) There exists a volunteer group that has been effective in working with golf administration on the exec courses. Perhaps a similar group could be formed for the championship courses.
One concern with that is that we have no investment in the championship courses. They were not promised to us as the execs were. They are privately owned. Therefore, they have no obligation to form such a group, but there is no harm in trying. But the focus has to be on what WE (residents, golf administration, and ownership) can do to improve it.
So, my point is that abandoning TV courses is certainly your prerogative. But it is also certain to result in no improvement. Even if you multiply yourself by 100 or 200 or more, the loss of play you represent will go completely unnoticed.
Saying "Fix it!" and walking away won't do it.
