As for putting, golf is a game, not a set of laws to be obeyed. Pick up whatever distance of putts you feel like. No one establishes a handicap playing executive courses.

Well said
Speed up play -- consider this
Pin placements- Quite often the pin placements on Ecexs are far too challenging for the level of play (sucker placements) ie far too close to the edge of the green, hidden behind traps, on downhill slopes, etc.
more reasonable placements could significantly speed up play. These are not "Championship courses".
Sand traps- many far to deep for level of play. Too many traps on numerous holes
Some work on the pin placement issue alone could pay significant time dividends.
