Win-Win.

I agree with hiring better maintenance personnel, but as per post #23, I think the money is already there for champ courses without raising fees further. Probably for execs as well, but the problem with raising the amenity fee is that not everyone plays golf. Perhaps raising the trail fee if needed? Besides, $10/month x 70,000 homes = $8.4 million/year---doubt it would cost that much
