Second chance was at the bathroom but no you couldn't fill a cup due to lack of pressure. Third chance at last water station didn't have any water period!!! Sorry but this is unacceptable!! Remember the good old days when the ambassadors drove up and asked if you wanted some cold water; they say they can't do it safely any more when you ask. Just another example of poor golf management; or as they like to say blame it on the weather!!
Water was carried by the ambassadors for many years before Covid. They offered the water, you poured your own in paper cups and disposed of them in the cart trash can. Don't see how that would be considered unsafe.
