they really don't care about immaculate, championship quality courses......They have a captive audience here, why should they? What can be done about it? Probably, not a darned thing........alas and alack.

You're probably correct. I used to play a lot of pool here and a lot of the good pool players would complain about the tables. We have a resident who is an expert in pool table maintenance and offered to do professional set up on several of the rec center's table for the cost of materials only. The response from TV was that it's not worth the money because these are only recreational tables and we're not having professional tournaments here. I suspect that they have the same attitude about the golf courses. They probably figure that 95% of the people who play the executives don't know the difference and they're probably right. The regulation courses (they're really not championship courses) are a different story because they receive income directly from them. Income can be directly related to the condition.
The execs are basically paid for by a third party. Third party payment almost always leads to poor services and products.
