9 Hole Golfing Anyone?

I recently was surprised to learn that a lot of my golfing partners did not know what 9 hole golfing was. I’ve been to several 9 hole courses and have had the joy to participate in golf tournaments on such courses. Playing golf on a smaller course is fun for the social interactions. To clarify, 9 hole is a course that only has 9 holes instead of the normal 18 holes. To play the back nine, you actually return to your first hole and start the course again. Except, you tee off at a different location during the second rotation. Benefits normally include cheaper green fees, smaller crowds, and second chances to clear the water traps.
