He said score matters. I agree that for the nicer courses etiquette tests could be implemented but if someones never played there must they take one? Or would it stay on someones record if they join the usga? But that would require them joining? Just seems like a lot of work for something that should already be common sense.The test isn't about skill level, methinks, it's about general golf etiquette...repairing divots and ball marks, not stepping on another persons line on the green, calling faster players through whenever possible, etc. That should be emphasized more here, I think. I liked another persons idea earlier - have some of the nicer courses require the etiquette test, and there would still be many courses that an average Joe and family can still play without requiring said test. It isn't about what you shoot, it's about how you act.

True dat...And there's the rub right there...common sense is far from common, LOL...

I have heard about those systems, and its awesome if your courses are already filled with players, but we are still in a bit of a crisis in America in which our massive growth of golf courses has outgrown the demand. I agree with Oregon Golfer - we could have a system like that in America but just let the individual courses decide if they want to implement the system or not. Municipal courses or public courses that need revenue could waive the system. High end country clubs and resort courses with triple digit greens fees could require a qualifying card. Some courses might only invoke the requirement on weekends, or during peak seasons. It would really be neat to have to qualify to play certain courses in your area, but it kind of cuts against the current trend of making golf accessible to everyone.
I don't think so, we are considering adding a HC requirement to our course because 18+ HC resort golfers really back up the pace of play and ruin 100's of peoples rounds. I think overall it is a very good idea and with some work could be great for golf.I am all for the etiquette and rules tests, but a mandatory scoring ability? I am sorry, but that is just idiotic. Absolutely stupid.

Totally agree Freddy.The system works and I wish it was implemented in some form in the states. Of course criteria would be different but some folks have no business on the golf course
Depends on the course JR, for my course it is incredibly difficult and if you are above an 18 HC you will have a long long long day and even if you were a fast player, you would create a slow round. We see it every day, and it for us, it has to end.I'm sorry, I just have to respectfully disagree. I play to a 20, but I have never been accused of slowing down the pace of play. If a golfer is slow beyond reason, kick him off the course, but I will say this: some of the best golfers out there are slow as Christmas (Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Kevin Na).

JR, yes it does and we see it every day, to the point where this drastic measure is being discussed as a way to solve it.Also CB, let me ask this: is a 15 handicap really going to get around that much quicker than a 19? What if a 12 cap is having a bad day? What if putting is where the 20 capper sucks, an area that, in my experience, doesn't really add much time to a round?
I still can't get behind the idea man. Maybe it is because I fall into a category that would keep me off of some courses. I don't know, but I will never, ever support keeping a person off the course because he can't break 90.
