The 4 or 5 PB courts I go to have been dead for the last two weeks from 8-12.

Open Play -- all levels & Beginner/Advanced Beginner
Given that several months have passed since my "beginner" angst arose, I am happy to report that one does develop a thick(er) skin for playing with/dealing with slammers. You begin to realize that it is not your personal lack of skill that is at issue, but more about the slammers need to dominate the court.
I am entirely comfortable now with Open Play (all levels) using this as an opportunity to face higher skilled players who mentor me and using my mid-range talents to help others. I stay away from Intermediate Open Play -- where I don't belong...

My new favorite dig (when someone leaves a birdie putt short) is to comment "Laying up on that putt was an interesting strategy, let's see if it works for you..."

I use to go Chula Vista the lady there use to run tight ship. She was only one at those courts that came out and ran open players off at 10Am when beginning play was scheduled. I have never be anywhere else where they do that. |

The fastest way to improve your game as a beginner is individual or very small group instruction.
I teach two classes each week as a part of PCVG programs. I also instruct beginners individually. Having the basic shots and knowing where to be on the court is key. PM me if you are interested.

Years ago we found the same, beginner and multiple players winning—- to zip. We noticed many just enjoying kicking the crap out of everyone. While they were polite, usually one would mention you really need to take lessons. Then continue to play for as long as they could hold court, playing 7 days a week.
We finally just sat one day, watched those who were truly beginners trying to enjoy a new sport. Then waited while they got beat with zero on their end. Then approach the beginner. We ended up have 20 players that got together all close to the same level. Each week we all seemed to improve, and had a great time, looking forward to the next game. Just look around you will find some to play with
