[I'm Popeye!]

We're full time residents, and yet, when "snowbirds" are not here, I have seen unbelievable behaviors: non disabled driving ON the greens, individuals going INTO and OUT OF traps at the very highest point of the lip and collapsing the entire lip, dropping cigarettes and cigars on greens and THEN crushing them out completely and walking away, dragging flag poles across surface as they remove them, etc. etc. All makes me wonder, it is really the "up norths" who destroy our courses ? Do renters believe they do NOT actually pay for this amenity destruction (built into the rent) ? Don't know the answers, but have been watching what actually goes on for years, and seems plenty of blame to go around. Having "ambassadors" instead of marshals, definitely does not help ! "Ambassadors" sitting in carts watching all this, watching people T up as many as 4 ball, dragging their pull carts right onto the greens on the executive courses.... ambassador never take action ! It's all a mystery after all these years of full time residency ! ??

I have to say, you're right on!
Yes, We can put a little blame on the "Ambassadors" for doing or saying nothing at times...
Seen golf carts with no handicap designation IDs on Par 3 many times...
