I hope those bad guys, perpetrators, toss and turn all sleepless night long after putting the pins on slopes.

Great to hear GM. Thanks.

Keep it in the short grass.

Well said PB. We've all had our say and made our points. And, we may not all agree but ... as you say; "... which is okay of course."

Thanks to all for your thoughts. Hopefully all the powers that be at all the country clubs will become aware of these concerns.

Hit 'em, if not long, at least straight and keep that head down.
