Default excessive/improper use of rope on executive courses

This was my first post and It was an eye opener. The majority of the replies blamed the "tripper" and never could see the real problem of too many ropes on tees that were not doing their intended job but instead creating an obstacle to golfers and pace of play. I think the photos easily prove this point about placement . Ropes should protect the golfer wet areas, and newly seeded or sodded areas. To block off a tee of green without attempting to fix the bad area is not helping. Most replies seem to suggest if a barrier were put in the middle of the road on 441 for no valid reason and a car hit it causing injury that some how it was total the driver at fault as he could have driven around. Key point.. "for no valid reason". By these way the photos show that it is not golf carts that caused the problem, it is water run off from elevated tees. These photos were not exception but true in almost all case. I thank everyone for your replies.
