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.

Some years ago, a group of enterprising Ambassadors bought Candy at discount prices and started selling it to gofers at starter shacks. Great, we could get a between 9's snack for a half a buck and the Ambassadors made a few pennies to augment their minimal salaries. Oh no said Golf Administration, (another name for the "Family"). Can't do that. We are now taking over the concession and you must buy your candy from us.
Yesterday, I bought a candy bar at the turn at Cane Garden. The last time I bought one the price was $.75 which was about two years ago. ( I don't eat much candy) Yesterday's Reeses Pieces cost me $1.50!!!!! Yep folks, that's the new price. Now our crumby little candy bar at the turn is making it to the bottom line of the ever growing family fortune. At what level do they become ashamed of their greedy behavior. By the way, while they gouge us for candy bars, the greens were not fit for a public course in the NE, and the smell of the pond at the 3rd Tee at Allamanda was repulsive. Perhaps they are planning to use the excess profits from candy bars to address these other issues.
