Blocking access to greens and tees to protect a bald, water run of damage spot is not the correct usage. If they remove the wrong ones I promise to walk around ropes protecting wet areas, new sod or grass and hazardous areas ( I already do). Thanks for your input. Oh, the rope guidance is where not to go. No offence intended. Thanks again.
Gene. You are a good man. I checked you out on Facebook. You have something that is legitimately bothering you but are finding it isn't shared by a lot of people.

I suggest you take a step back . (watch out for the ropes) now a couple more steps back and look at the whole picture. 32 nine hole courses that are part of your $150 amenity fee. Courses that run on time almost all of the time and courses that are used from sunup to sundown. Courses where people do keep the pace of play FOR THE MOST PART and where hundreds and people begin golf and start loving the game you can play for life. Courses that back on homes that have people who enjoy watching you make a perfect six iron shot and love it when you one putt a green. Please don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Enjoy the courses. Time is a wastin'.
