Unless you are one of those extremely rare players here (<0.1%?) who; NEVER plays a breakfast ball on occasion, plays the ball down at ALL times, ALWAYS putts every ball out (unless in match play), posts EVERY score, spends no more than the allotted time looking for a ball, etc., etc., etc. and follows to the letter EVERY USGA rule and its staggering NUMEROUS decisions (have you even read them?)...I think your main gripe is about beginners (particularly women?) in general. If a player is only hitting the ball "10 feet" (a little exaggeration maybe?) after teeing it up in the fairway, be assured it would be worse for them...without the tee. Since The Villages has a large number of beginner golfers, taking the game up after they retire, you're going to give yourself apoplexy...if you don't learn to relax and just enjoy being on the course. And yes, there are those that would do themselves and others a favor to stay on executive courses until such time as they are ready for the regulation (sorry, I can't bring myself to call them 'championship' courses)...but they still have the right to play them. One way you can ensure that you're never bothered (at least for the first nine holes, until you catch the 'wave')...is to sign up for the first tee time on the days you play. Other than that, I think your enjoyment would rise significantly if you just take deep breaths, recognize that there's no extra strokes deducted for a fast round...and try to remember back to when you first started. I'm guessing there were more than a few who followed you back then...that were complaining about how slow you played. |
