Got another response today that included the following.
"I agree it would be great to find a way to let people know about course maintenance, some of the things we do and why the courses are in the condition they are in. Unfortunately, we only respond and communicate with people who contact us and ask questions mainly due to staffing. Up until three months ago we only had 2 supervisors to manage the District’s 38 courses. We just hired 2 more supervisors so hopefully we can start being a little more proactive in getting the word out."
This is Howard.Brown@districtgov.org
Here's hoping that the meeting tomorrow morning at the Savannah Rec proves fruitful. |
I see no reason why this offer from Howard wouldn't extend to all here.
"If you are interested in learning more about the golf courses and some of the things that we do, I can get you in touch with one of my Superintendents and they could answer any questions, they love to educate people on golf course management and are pretty good at it. If you would like I can arrange for you to spend a morning shadowing them during one of our scheduled course closures and you could actually see what they do and observe all the moving parts of getting course ready for play.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact or call me if you have any questions or concerns about the courses. My cell phone number is 352-661-4291."
