Courses with two 18's


Recommended Posts

A local course I play has two 18 hole courses. One is a legit full 18 and the other is more of an executive 18. I've come to really appreciate this because most of the riff raff, your jeans/tank top cigarette smoking people will go and play the executive course, while the longer 18 is made for the moderate to advanced player. I know not every course has the space or resources to do this, but it's a nice luxury.

we have a local course that has a setup similar. Most of the time it’s the younger golfers who are on it but i do see an occasional group go out.

There's a dual course nearby that has an executive along with a regulation. The Mrs. plays in her golf league on the executive. Periodically play with her on Sunday afternoons carrying a short set of irons, just for the practice. Can play a walking "round" in a couple of hours. Green fees are modest. Surrounded by other like minded members of the hoi polloi, parents teaching youngsters how to play golf, seniors out for an "easy" round, those of middling abilities that may be intimated by playing a full length course. And not once have I observed tank top wearing, cig smoking, "riff-raff" while so doing. The OP's golfing world must be substantively different than mine. Thank goodness.

There should be more decent quality executive courses available for play. Might be a way to actually grow the game.

You obviously didn't read the OP. Not every person who plays the executive course is riff raff, there are certainly plenty of juniors or seniors out there who are regular golfers, no problem with that. The post clearly states those who tend to be trouble makers tend to go and play the executive instead of the full course, and that's a nice thing to have based on purely observation. You also don't seem to be able to add your two cents into a discussion without some kind of jerk remark.

Well, as long as they aren't "riff raff" or any other kind of people you don't think belong in the game, or at least on the same course as you.

Most guys I know wear jeans (spring and fall in particular) when golfing - not "riff riff". Tank tops? Don't care but again, pretty much BS. Smokers? None of my business.

Are all "those people" poor at etiquette? Sportmanship? Unintelligent? Not as cool as you? See, nothing in your post (I read it just fine) finds fault with any of those folks as golfers ...... JUST AS PEOPLE YOU JUDGE BY THEIR CLOTHES AND THE FACT THEY SMOKE and since there isn't a single complaint about their character or their conduct that means you judge them the same way any place you encounter them.

Take a hike.

I belonged to a private club that was struggling financially. For awhile, it allowed a limited amount of outside play Mon- Thurs. The Pro called all outside players Riff-Raff. I told him he should treat every outside player that walked through the door as a potential new member. That pro is no longer in the golf business.

Good point here but poorly worded. Until we stop calling it "Riff Raff", golf will still have the same stuffy connotation. I'm close to a 27 hole par 3 facility which is fully lit with a big driving range and the riff-raff is what keeps it afloat. I've been an avid player for my whole life and it just pleases me to see courses full, regardless of what type of player is out there. I love the classic golf courses and country clubs, but its great to drink a few beers and beat some balls at this place too.

Broken windows is one of the more controversial theories in criminal justice.

I think we all agree that etiquette such as repairing pitch marks and divots and not littering are all important. Pace of play and following specific course rules I.e. dress code as well.

the idea that what one wears, or drinks, or smokes, makes them a better or worse person is a big problem not just in golf but the world. You’re entitled to your opinion but I prefer judging people on their actions and regard/disregard for the rules in front of them
