They had one starter shack open for two nines, for example at Bonifay if you're playing Pensacola, you go check in at Destin starter shack. I think most of us can operate without assistance. I wish it was free golf, in January it will go up to about $57.
Tell me oh wise one..........what do you think would happen without Starters or Ambassadors?
I'll accept your "opinion"

For one, it wouldn't be any different. I played on 7 different courses in NE Maryland and southern Pennsylvania until 2011 when I moved to TV. None had ambassasors, a beer girl on the course was the only employee you would even come across, and most of the courses only had a starter during the morning rush.

My favorite course was Pilgrim's Oak in Delta, Pensylvania just across the state line from Maryland. For those over 50 it was $33 to play including cart. You could get a great pulled pork BBQ sandwich on a bun with drink and chips for $7 on the turn. It was owned and maintained by the Amish. It was 36 miles from my home and I had to drive across a dam to get there, but we went at least once a month. It was beautiful!

They already projected this morning on the news we should get about 0.64 rainfall. That's just a normal afternoon? Why they can't reopen at least half of the nines tomorrow or Thursday is ridiculous.
Courses are opening Thursday
