Every time I find one, I cringe because it has been in someone’s mouth who may be COVID positive. Is it too much to ask that golfers who smoke carry a small plastic ashtray in their carts? I find butts on tee boxes, along the cart paths and even on the greens. Finally, just an FYI, this littering has not increased since the “birdies” arrived. This has been going on for a while now. Let’s be considerate of our fellow golfers and the staff that picks up after you.
Just a reminder that when there are restrictions such as cart path only, we expect you to abide by the rules. This restriction apply to ALL golfers, including those with RA tags! Ambassadors were not hired to be traffic cops. Thanks in advance.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am and I am sure we all are for doing this. Particularly concerning is anything that could carry Covid-19. I hope you wear gloves or use a broom and pan to gather the cigarette butts.
I also do believe it gets worse when the population swells. I also suspect the litterers are the very few who do not have self responsibility drilled into them. On the other hand....I gently remind you what I have heard over the years....That without some difficult and yucky things, many of us would not have had jobs over the years. That is part of the job description. Again. I thank you.
I don't think you are speaking "ex cathedra" or from the owners. They are very careful NOT to remind us of the rules. I think THEY think we are old enough to behave well. And most of us are.
