I'm not playing 'til tomorrow but wondering how the Ambassadors are doing enforcing the new RA rules that began today. Knowing how little Ambassadors are permitted to do, I'd bet not much will change. Hope I'm wrong.

Hey, somebody! Take and post pictures of the violators. Not just bad parking going on here.

You know the rules, you know the penalties for violating them, so if you CHOOSE to violate the rules, you accept the consequences.

That's what mandatory lessons are for.

Then I'll stick with my other point----Under the mandatory concept, Masters Champion Patrick Reed would have had to sit through a class before he could play and set the course record at Havana. How about Nancy Lopez to play the course that is her namesake? You cannot bunch everyone, from beginner to pro in one basket and require an etiquette class. Just hand out an etiquette sheet if you like and make the person sign that they received it.
