It always helps to ignore most complainers due to their lack of facts...sometimes it's hard not to answer...

Some of us who have been around for more than 15 years have seen the deterioration.
We have had weather issues over the years....golf courses did not look like they do today.
We have had busy and busier seasons in recent years.....take a look at some public courses here or back home....heavy seasonal play....well maintained approaches and greens.
We are not complaining about having the course be comparable to private, high(er) greens fee clubs. We are comparing today with what used to be.
There is absolutely no doubt the courses are much, MUCH worse than previous years. Little or no doubt about the falling off of the amount and quality of maintenance.
And as a previous poster pointed out, the people who do work on the golf courses have almost no understanding of their role when there are players approaching......NONE! Which is also an indicator of failing/failed/don't give a crap management.
