I might be able to understand the green fees increase (more profit) but the change in the warm up basket is just not right.........what possible cost increase could have happened to justify the increase?
I have sent an email to golf course Administration Department.
We are forgetting one thing here. We are in TV and in many cases it is similar to the ole proverbial saying...why does a dog lick em? Because he can! Lol. Why do they raise the prices of homes higher than inflation, demand, costs, or raise other prices at courses, stores, fees? Because they can!
But, we still can't fault them, if we don't like it, go somewhere else or don't participate in it. As I say, others should start what the Morses did than they can do what they like too. They took the chance and built a great place to enjoy. Who ever said it would come cheap?
