Since they don’t push along slow golfers, I think their only real function is to keep people from sneaking on the course to play without paying. Especially later in the day when the courses typically aren’t very busy.

Imagine the bexley bridge crossing the turnpike situation while on hole 11 next to the turnpike.

If traffic noise affects you, your concentration is terribly lacking. You probably let an airplane overhead annoy you. Yes if someone on the green is someone talking or moving you have an excuse, but 100 yards + away….you have a problem.

Thank you for your professional diagnosis.
Obviously you have never been to Augusta, or many other PGA venues.
Applause 100 yards away affect players.

Prima Donnas...

A buddy of mine prides himself on being able to "step on a duck" in the middle of your backswing... If you can play thru that, you can play thru anything...

The road noise will soon put you to sleep.

(The next to last page of the document has a helpful map)

How you could claim that a project not even in the planning stages includes sound walls is beyond me.

Maybe he heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from his butcher.

Funny you say that...............Monday @ Palmer there was an on-course tow and today @ Glenview there was an on-course tow.

One and done playing it.

Personally I have always thought noise such as people walking, waving, or talking, mowers, cars/trucks and other such distractions were overrated as far as me hitting a poor golf shot. Perhaps basketball and shooting free throws did something for me ignoring distractions on the golf course. But to each his own.

The answer is right in his post. "I've heard" is all some people need. They pass the story along to others, and it soon becomes "fact".

When my butcher passes along a story even if third hand we know it is true as he does not put his thumb on the scale. Not sure about his middle finger though

What do you use ear plugs to block the noise? I can just manage paying $10's of thousand to be live in a noisy community
