Let the carnage begin.....
Another Christmas of "free" golf on the championship courses. Scorecard so far:
38 Golfers have played the hole I live on (par 4) 78 divots taken 6 divots filled with sand 12 bunkers entered 1 rake used Can't see the tee, so ? # of divots on tee Unknown # of pitch marks on green, but from a distance looks like there have been 0 repairs Most practice swings----11 Most "whiffs"---- 6 in a row Most "mulligans"---4 in a row, all shanked into the hazard. Best club throw-----about 35 yards Best cart driving---tie between across edge of green and sideswiping a palm tree Best etiquette----forgetting to put the flagstick back in Can't wait to play the "manicured" course tomorrow |

No point. It's going to be the same on all of them. It's a nice Christmas present, but there is some excess damage. If I were doing this, I'd use the reservation system to set up a lottery---golfers could enter their desire to play free today, with a course time preference, and let the computer sort it out. I would make attendance at good golf school or a handicap under 18 a prerequisite to enter.

..............a handicap under 18 a prerequisite to enter.
A fair majority of those I see on the local champioship course daily, would struggle to qualify for a handicap. |

I regularly play in groups where there are some 18+ index guys who know proper etiquette and some around with a 12-15...that still have to be reminded to take care of 'our' courses. I don't play executive courses, but I'm guessing that the allure of free play today is what is bringing out those that normally play the executives and would otherwise be intimidated of the championship courses...and don't want to spend the money? If it is that, then the executives must be taking a pretty good beating from these same clueless (or just plain lazy/jerk) golfers. |

I would, but I'm leaving town in 3 days. Not nearly enough time to make a dent in it.

Just think, the renters start coming in droves next week. I pay XXX and I'm on vacation, let someone else take care of the course.

2. I also live on a champ course. I played today and seen nothing like you described. I also was on my patio most of the afternoon and observed no carnage. In fact hardly any play after 1:30 today. 3. We had this same conversation last year. Perhaps I detect a little not in my back yard swaying your observation or perhaps you live on a non desirable course. |

Can't imagine spending that much time watching others play golf. Didn't see much disrespect where we were, and the afternoon was light. Hope everyone had a great Christmas with their family and friends

Do a search....this same thread has come up the past 8 years.
Somehow the courses have survived.
