Get ready to tee off and enjoy a leisurely stroll through Vancouver's beautiful parks! The city's beloved pitch and putt greens are back in action, offering a fun and low-impact way to spend a spring day. But here's where it gets controversial... Is it really necessary to match singles and pairs with others at the green? Let's dive into the details and explore the debate. The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation has once again opened the city's three pitch and putt greens, located in Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, and Rupert Park. These greens are a springtime favorite, attracting both locals and visitors who want to enjoy a slow, leisurely stroll and a fun game of golf. The pitch and putt greens are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (weather permitting), and each green has 18 par-three holes. While singles and pairs can play, they will be matched up with others at the green, resulting in groups of three or four playing together. Each round costs approximately $19 per person, and balls and clubs can be rented for $2.86. So, what's the controversy? Some players argue that matching singles and pairs with others at the green ruins the flow of the game and takes away from the social aspect of playing with friends or family. Others believe that it encourages more people to try the game and promotes a sense of community. What do you think? Is it a necessary tradition or a unnecessary disruption?
