Billy, this is Platzreife. It's the German version of a driver's license for golf. If you fail the 50 question written test + the on course exam with a pro? You are banned from any legitimate 18 hole golf course in Germany and other German-speaking countries. You are relegated to 9 hole pitch and putts. It's a brilliant system designed to uphold the integrity, pace of play, and etiquette of the sport. The USGA should take notes.
