Just curious what opinions are of the TOTV members....


I do know that the sand traps are raked by machine every other day...and the ambassadors clean up at the end of their shift...but I am talking about after each time it happens.
repairing ball marks, filling divots are all matters of courtesy. If an ambassador happens to do some of these things, he/she are just being courteous; it is not part of the job. Besides, we can only achieve the pristine courses we all like to play by sharing responsibility for their upkeep as well as being courteous to our fellow players.
