Maybe we shouldn't let the secret out. I knew going in that Tierra and OB would be the least crowded and I love both courses. Another benefit of being up north!

Maybe by next year I can tee off with an adapted K-9 cannon tennis ball launcher so I don't tire my shoulders out. That should fix my slice !

I like the idea of free golf too. But don't believe it is worth the frustrations. Early in the morning we saw many of the exec courses were pretty empty and thought hmmm maybe we should go play a round but did other things. It did say on the course schedules that all exec courses were closed on Christmas. However, by late morning they were filling up. Too bad many 1somes and 2somes playing, hitting couple balls versus saving some tee times. Saw lots of disrespect for the courses too age wise and ability. One couple walked to the hole with their pull cart and putted out!
We saw at Belle Glade early afternoon 16 carts lined up on the first hole!! Now given they were all 4somes and 10 minutes per tee time that means that last group waited 1 hour and 20 minutes to just tee off! All for a free round of golf that they will than go out and spend $40+ on a dinner. Maybe friends pulled the carts up while some went in for lunch during the wait. On Evans Prairie at the Hillsborough Rd crossing, 4 people were riding in 1 cart! 1 on back standing, 3 in the seat carrying their clubs. Wow But hey, for those that like the idea and free golf, hope all had fun. it was a nice day. Merry Christmas |

When the rates get cheap in the summer at 5pm this year some courses cost more than others. Even though it's only a couple of dollars more it seems like it makes a difference to someone that never played golf or a champ before. I agree for Christmas only Villagers should play for free.

Talked to a couple that played this afternoon...they said it was significant. There was a time, I guess, when free golf made sense. When it was smaller, when it was a different time, when respect meant something. I know, the few always ruin it for the majority, but seems that is happening on many fronts in TV.

Regular golfers know that not climbing off the bank of a sand trap, only putting on a green, hitting a ball without damaging the ground or slightly damaging the ground and making the repair is part of the game. You wouldn't allow kids shoot pool if you knew they didn't have the skills to not touch the cloth. So if you let the kids unintentionally screw up the tables one day a year why should the pool shooters say thank-you? |
