Or one less excuse if the conditions don’t improve, especially now that the El Niño weather pattern has dissipated?

To use some hyperbole, imaging a beginner at the Masters. That person would be a total disruption to the flow of the tournament, not to mention a danger to the spectators. On a smaller scale, imagine a beginner playing the black tees at Tierra or Glenview. That person would be slow, irritating and dangerous to most of the other golfers, and ruin their day. Yet, unlike pickleball and softball, there is no filter---anyone can pay their greens fee and play wherever and whenever they want, no matter how much it affects everyone else. Yes, we all encourage people to take up golf and enjoy the game. But you can't become even an average player overnight. Go to good golf school, take the new to golf school lessons, practice on the range and start on exec courses. You'll enjoy the game much more if you attain some minimal level of skill and not by getting frustrated by whiffs and 10 yard drives. Like most things in life, doing it the right way pays off in the end. Full disclosure: I've been playing 54 years and wouldn't score very well at Augusta National either. |

I wouldn't like a chance to "2 cart rule", but I could live with it, if I didn't stuck with some schmo, shooting 105 from the Green Tees. |

Not true…I called tee time office - it is no more then 2 carts per reservation so you don’t have to pair up with someone you don’t know. AND not all starters are enforcing the rule, golfed today had a foursome and we took 3 carts and 1 walked. We have been playing together for many years so we could have paired up if instructed to do so.

Much more relaxing to just play using my own cart. |

Paul Harvey, The Rest of the Story.
No change to the riding rule. I returned to the original course after a month and a half. Same starter. He clarified what he said, or what I heard. He mentioned the last time we met, he was explaining a couple violators were being called out and TV Admin were trying to make corrections. The current posted rules are still valid. ![]()
