It could be that our courses just figure they have a captive audience, thereby fostering the arrogant attitude of..."If you don't like it, go somewhere else."

I'll add a little fuel to the fire. Played Lopez today, just 3 weeks after the course was managed to be in pristine conditions for the LPGA Legends tournament. In a short three weeks, they have turned an LPGA tournament venue into a pasture for the residents to play. The greens, a couple weeks after aeration are bare and awful.. Looks like they haven't been watered since the old ladies left. Ditto the fairways. Why is it that conditions can be so exceptional for the LPGA ladies and so ****ty for us residents who pay the damn bills. Talk to the powers that be and all you will get is BS excuses that far to many residents, in their lack of wisdom, readily accept.
