Complaining about Fairways on a golf course... Life is good. I bet the Mixed Drinks had one too many ice cubes

Cane Garden and Lopez are in great shape. Hacienda as well. Different grass up there, or maybe in a different time zone?

Thank you for facts
 

It is increasingly rare to see anyone speak facts. Especially when referencing any number of comments on government. Thank you.

Played Kilimanjaro and Kenya today. Horrible conditions on the greens. No grass, mostly mud. We did ask a groundskeeper and we’re told it was due to fungus. What, did they run out of fungicide? Winter conditions are what they are here but there’s no excuse for this.

Any time some pays there money for something and the quality is not what it should be they have every right to complain. If you bought a new car and it kept breaking down you'd complain about that. If you went to a concert and the musicians didn't perform well you might complain about that. If you go to a restaurant and pay a lot of money for bad food we'd all hear about that.

Why is it that when it comes to golf people believe that we have no right to complain? Why is it when someone is driving fast in a golf cart people will always mock them for being late for their tee time? Being late for your tee time can cause you to lose it.

We hear complaints about the roads, the lack of flowers, the grass not being maintained, the water in the pools not being the right temperature and a myriad of other things. Those are all OK, but when it comes to golf we are just supposed to shut up, pay our money and be happy.

Oh, and by the way, did you happen to notice that this is a forum specifically created to report golf course conditions?

You are completely correct Dr Winston in MHO. There are usually 2 regulars on this forum that really dislike posters that bring up issues in the villages. (particularly golf) One of them isn't even a golfer anymore. I think its good to hear about a golf course that is in terrible shape compared to others so golfers dont waste their money on that particular course.

I'm playing Kilimanjaro to Kenya tomorrow, but I was expecting that. I've gotten use to the thin grass on the fairways, actually made me improve my game by hitting the ball first and not the ground. The greens have been like putting on a driveway at any course lately. The way they always pick the pin placements, they must look for the most unlevel area.

How can you say that? Go play Evans Praire, looks great. Just like people’s yards, it’s how they take care of them.

I agree totally. I normally do not complain about conditions of the courses here. But, I played there with a group of friends yesterday, and that course is in the worst condition I’ve ever seen it. And this is not the same as the rest of the championship courses Here in the villages. Greens were in absolutely terrible shape! I have guest in town and was embarrassed to have taken them there.

Keep scalping all the fairways on Championship courses and that is what you get. Need to let there be some grass in fairways
