The only difference between "good" golfers and the rest of us and the Championship or Executive courses is about 6 inches.......(average space between the ears!).

I play both and enjoy them for different reasons. I always play the executive from the black tees and some of the courses are hard to score well on. Pelican, Redfish Run and a few others. My handicap goes up and down dramatically depending on how my back is feeling that day/month.

As I said before, I am glad to hear how much you all enjoy the Exec courses, but it is too bad that the slow play of some people detracts from the experience. Has anyone ever proposed a workable solution to the problem of slow play? For example, having a time when people are told they must play fairly quickly? Of course, then it has to be enforced, and that can cause hard feelings - at least that is what happened where I play. |

Where I'm from in South Jersey I think the public courses would overbook. The private courses until 10 years ago had a female policy about when women could play. It was an unusual course where the tee off times were on schedule and you finished 18 holes in around 4 hours. Down here, more than likely you might go out before your scheduled time. I can't remember being stalled on the first tee, teeing off late because of slow play. Considering all the beginners, they must be doing something right. |

We could require mandatory "good golf school", but it will probably fall on deaf ears. There are those, not many, who feel "entitled" to hold everyone else up to play slow, or talk, or repeat shots because "they paid for it", like everyone else didn't. These people are everywhere, just lucky not so much in TV |

Policy tells you to get there 1/2 hour early. Some people follow the rules and maybe that's why they are anxious to get started because they have been standing around for a 1/2 hour or more. |

What policy is that? I think half that is plenty if you're ready to go.

I was trying to suggest why starters would send a group out earlier than they should or would if they knew everyone standing by their carts were experienced and understood how pacing works over 9 holes.
I don't think I manufactured one half hour early but I cannot find it or any policies in writing. How come I can't find any policies in writing about etiquette and local rules? Can somebody give me a link? With all the talk and advice on this site and all the golfing going on why is it that you need to go to golf school or ask a golf staff member to get answers? Kind of Off Topic---but this is a pet peeve of mine. Environmental Areas I respect Environmental Areas and might use a retriever if I can see the ball but I never go in a restricted area like others I have seen. When I do bring up the subject that the penalty for going in a restricted area may be a fine over $200, golfers are shocked. I don't think that fine is posted and it should be. What is posted is that you may be asked to leave the course. That sounds like the worst that could happen is being sent to the principal's office, a slap on the wrist.
