Want to get better at golf, get off the couch, shut off the computer and smart phone and get out there and practice. Sometimes I think The Villages is going you know where fast.
if giving the option of 2 hole sizes on 2 courses is a precursor to the fall of TV's. Seems a bit overly dramatic. Perhaps more people will play if they do give the option of using a larger hole...no way for you to know till they try it.

As to lowering the green fees bringing in more golfers....sure, but then they'll have the championship courses filled with people who aren't there to play golf, but to have a social outing.
