Default I'm confused

I was under the impression you had to be 14 years old to play golf, 11 with the evaluation and permission of the pro. So why did an 8 or 9 year old kid just come by playing #8 of Egret????

Doubt it. As you can imagine, I'm pretty good at estimating ages.

Expecting rain, perhaps the Starter Shack is being more lenient than usual? (It's raining in The Village of Belvedere).

• Children under the age of 10 wishing to play golf on The Villages golf courses must see one of the team professionals at a championship course for a proficiency approval before playing.
• Spectators under the age of 10 are not permitted

It doesn't say anything about 14 year olds.

You must be 14 to operate a golf cart.......

Is there anything that Bogie doesn't know, or can't look up?

My nephew is 8 years old and has attended classes at the Golf Academy. He has a letter certifying that he can golf on the executive courses. We show the letter at the starter shack. BTW he regularly can hit the ball 150 yards at the range.
