Given the inevitability that nothing much is going to change,then, how do we get to play the game we all love so much, yet improve the quality of play? Basic economics really. Raise the price and the demand diminishes! So, raise the fees across the board until enough "chaff" disappears and the play is normalized. The same revenue can be maintained and fewer players> A perfect solution. Sure, some will be angered that they cant play free anymore, but seriously, if you want to have good courses to play on and good golfing experiences,,"FREE" isn't part of the equation. So, let's get a petition going to raise the fees!!

That's fine for those that can afford it but many people moved here to be able to better afford to play the game they love and I would bet they're in the majority.
