It would speed up the game

We have Golf Ambassadors to help keep pace. Besides why the rush most of us are here to enjoy ourselves.

GREAT IDEA, THEY SHOULD GO TO 10 INCHES, SPEEDS THE GAME UP AND
AND EVERYONE FEELS GOOD..:wave:

Since they do not handicap the executive courses what does it matter.

love it!

I read all the posts and got a strange vision of the hole being 5 feet wide and some guy plumb bobbing from a foot away for 30 seconds before he putts.

Now that's an idea that could work. Pick an easy course in each geographic section of the villages. Use the six inch cups and advertise them as a different game for beginners, visiting youngsters, ect. Players of any level would then have a choice. Just please, please don't cut two cups on every green. It will just make all kinds of mess. :pray:

That was a sink hole.

All right - let's settle it once and for all -

Let's make the whole green the "hole!"

Holes in one; eagles; albatross WOW WHAT FUN !!!!

They should make all the executive courses available to the handicap system. Golf should be golf, not putt-putt.

6" holes
 

Not a good idea. If you want to play golf, learn how to play right. If you expand the hole, then what next. You can't move the tees any closer.
You need to learn how to use all the clubs, otherwise miniture golf is an option.

I guess that would work if all of people that can't afford the higher rates were the slower players. In my experience, I have seen good players, poor player, wealthy players and not so wealthy players who were slow. I've also seen fast players in all of those categories.
The problem of slow play is not as simple as many people want to make it out to be. There is not one cause. Many people are slow for many different reasons. Having a lot of money does not make people faster.

Executive Courses 6" Diameter Cups
 

Instead of making the holes larger, how about making the greens putt-able? The greens on many of our executive courses are in sad shape. The fairways and rough are pretty bad too on a lot of them.

This is all about speeding up play(.) The golf industry is concerned about profits and are trying to dumb down the game so more people stick with the game. To me all these gimmicks with trying to make the game easier amounts to cheating. Its like retaining the training wheels on a bicycle...how are you ever going to learn. I am a high handicapper who understands ready golf but you take away much of the challenge and many players will lose interest.

My personal view is that making the game easier will make it more sociable and in the end defeat the goal of stepping up play.

If you designate certain courses as 6" and certain courses as 4 1/4" you will limit everyone's choices and perhaps unintentionally create a scarcity of available tee times

Finally ask yourself why did golf invent the handicap? answer to place all players on a level playing field. what else could you want? I'll bet some folks would answer self initiating drone clubs that when programed allow you to play par golf.

I believe they are alternating the size of the hole from one to the other . I can't see how you can have 2 holes on one green unless you have a large green too play with.
