When I reported some really shocking, deliberate, destruction to a green and to a sand trap, and after watching countless times while people ENTERED and EXITED a trap at the highest level (actually the most awkward way it could be done), and watched people DRAG a metal flag pole over the putting surface, and then STEP on the edge of the hole, I decided to VERY politely, calmly, and respectfully report to the golf offices that I have observed "ambassadors" just sit on their carts and watch destruction of the courses and never issue a single word of warning. People who, if they committed the same "offenses" at their home clubs, would receive a stern warning, and ultimately a 30 day suspension of memberships rights even though a paid member, don't even get a verbal warning here (maybe some do but I've been here a long time now and never seen anyone taken to task.. even when parking a cart ON the green !) Here they do NOT appreciate any reporting, even if done in a very respectful way to be helpful. I was told "THAT is exactly why we have "ambassadors" and NOT "marshals", we want our guests to be welcomed, not monitored." Oh, well, okay, NOW I understand, people are paid, I know, not very well paid, but paid, to be pleasant and hand out water, a VERY nice thing, but not to prevent intention destruction and correct clueless golfers ? How hard would it be to explain to a "golfer", a trap is NOT exited by putting a foot on the ledge and bringing the entire thing down, turf and sand ? How hard is it to explain, "PLEASE, when removing a pin, do NOT step on the edge of the cup" ?
