Don't Kid Yourself
I'm sure that kind of "after hours play" contributes - but from what I've personally observed, it's the RESIDENTS who do most of the damage. Twice in the past 2 weeks I saw someone drive their cart in places marked "wet - no carts", & saw one person drive across the edge of the green in a cart! I confronted them & got "I have an all-access pass, I can drive wherever I want", & "I pay for these courses - they have people to fix them!" Yes, I reported it to the starter shack/ambassador, & got "we'll look into it". When I played the same course that week - the ground was still torn up. Residents need to practice golf etiquette- then we can worry about non-residents!
