3) Removing bad influences from a course
4) Knowing where your money actually goes. (I'd be willing to be a very small % of money that the State Parks etc collect, go back into those courses. Volunteers raise money, Volunteers do the most of the work.)
5) Being able to bring in sponsors for various things that normally wouldn't happen, because the could have year round advertising, as opposed to one or two events.
6) On sight Pro Shop, Hot Food...etc etc.
7) Not having to deal with the powers that be and control the land, and all the crap that goes along with that. Aka less red tape. If they own the land they can make the decisions.

That was just a brief minute of thinking of advantages. I can think of very few disadvantages to Pay to Play.

Damn it sam where is the freaking like button?
