Andrew makes a really good point about courses. Look at LSH doubles, not only are there 25-30 participants but another 20-40 casual players, 80% of which are either brand new or less then 3 months experience. Same with Arlington. SeaTac is taking a beating because of the overflow from Lakewood in both amount of play and the unauthorized maintenance.

I would compare DG growth to average teenagers. In a BIG hurry to be grown up. Making decisions that at times seems to not be very well thought out. Anxiously waiting for the next step. First out of grade school, they cant wait to drive, smoke, drink and fornicate. Each of these has choices responsibilities, rewards and consequences. Unfortunately the process is so ingrained that effective evaluation is almost always neglected as they race forward.

Damn the torpedoes full steam ahead come to mind.
