Went to the local executive course today and I showed up at 5:45 pm, about 15 minutes after the starter closed.  I talked to an employee and asked him if he minded that I went out anyway, seeing as how there was at least 2 hours of usable daylight left.  He said no, I was welcome to go play.  As a result, I played 18 holes of free golf.

It was phenomenal, I had the entire course to myself and was really able to focus on my game and each hole.  Needless to say, I will be satisfying my mid-week golf fix at this course for free from now on.

This made me think that there are other people out there who likely have had similar experiences and/or have found ways to play golf and/or practice on the cheap, or even for free.  Anyone care to share their tips for making golf more affordable for everyone?

This may have worked this time but I would be hesistant to think they'll let you do it on a consistent basis.  Unless, of course, the employee told you that up front.  Hopefully I am wrong though and you continue to get to play golf weekly for free!

Believe me, I am crossing my fingers I get to keep playing golf for free.  Hell, even if I get away with it once a week I would be happy.  When I asked whether I could head out, the employee smiled and said "I can't tell you to go out and I can't tell you not to go out."  I was pretty much floored at that point.  As I headed out onto the course I also noticed a handful of other golfers tee off after me.  No doubt they have also figured this out.

The course that I play has twilight rates starting at 4pm - $15 for cart and all you can play. I love it. Things are tough financially right now so I've got to scrimp wherever. I do a lot of practice at home and try to get to the range at least once a week. I also look for stuff that I don't use anymore to sell to add $$$$ to my "golf fund".....does anyone need any fishing gear? Used only once.....

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
