The other day one of these guys was hitting THREE balls every other hole. He said he was new to golf and had just taken lessons and also did the "good golf school". LOL- he lost at least 10 balls that day on Redfish Run. He didn't rake the trap so I told him he "forgot" and boy, he did not like that one bit. It also cracks me up when I see beginners on Pelican. Play at your level and you'll have more FUN! I could play the blue tees on the championship's but I play the white most of the time because it's more fun. Remember to pick up after double par, get away from the hole quickly. Golf is as frustrating as you make it.
3-5 over from the black tees is quite enviable. But isn't shooting par golf the goal? You would definitely be a par golfer from the golds and may enjoy the game even more. BTW, 3-5 over is my goal from the golds.
