I won't even get into the conditions of the sandtraps. They are the worst I've seen in my 50 years of playing this game.
Spend some money and hire more help to maintain these courses.
Not now but the last few years there was no rough. It was like hitting off bare ground with a touch of green sprinkled around. I don't need 10 inches but Bermuda grass at a few inches is as it should be. Making you keep the ball in the fairway is a good idea.
