I was waiting to see if someone else on TOTV was going to post comments
and am curious what people feel about it. Personally I am not in favor of
it. I am also wondering how it will work. The article stated it is more of an
experiment and will be rotated around the executive courses and they will
cut two holes on the greens - one a regulation hole and one a 6 inch hole.
You play the hole you want to play.
I guess I'm thick but how can you have two holes? What if I want to play
the regulation hole and the 6 inch hole is in my line?
Thoughts anyone?

If the golf division has the mindset to lower the skill level of golf to appease the least skilled golfers why not have four holes in each green. the regulation hole, the proposed 6 inch hole, and another hole at 8 inches and the fourth at 10 inches. The Villages already has the perception that we are a bunch of old people just one step from nursing home care. I personally would be embarrassed to tell any outsiders that we have "extras big golf holes"...
