I have been told that on an executive course the ambassador cannot tell anyone to pick up the ball and move forward. I wish they could. I just think the slow pokes don’t know any better.
If I were king of everything I would tell beginners that executive golf is a form of golf not real golf. In executive golf if you don’t reach the drop zone move the ball to the drop zone. Eventually you will improve and no longer need to move it. From the drop zone you have 3 more chances to get it.
All too often I see a beginner try hit an almost impossible shot because “that’s the rule”.
The tee and the drop zone is like the Bunny Slope of skiing. I say move the ball to the “Bunny Slopes” until you have an “Intermediate” swing. No one learns how to hit out of the sand on the golf course. You learn on the practice sand traps.
