Years ago I worked on a golf course and cut the fairways during the day. I always said if the golfers were as good as they thought they were then the noise shouldn’t bother them.

Not covered with snow yet, the snow we got has melted. Playing today to extend my streak of playing at least one round per month to 72 months. Might be able to squeeze in a couple rounds in the Villages before New Years, but can’t leave it to chance in case bad weather delays our drive south for the winter. It’s 29 degrees now, but is supposed to get up to a toasty 35 degrees by 1:00. Hopefully I won’t have to drill a hole in the ground with my cordless drill to get a tee into the ground? Yearning for the Villages.

If you are golfing on El Diablo the distraction may actually help your game, or at least give you an excuse for struggling.

I enjoy the peace and quiet on the golf course so I hope that others will complain about this too. Will someone in charge please tell us if this is going to continue?

Odd. Some of us are disturbed when the courses are mowed before dawn! That’s what generally happens where I live. When it’s still dark! All so you won’t be disturbed.

And when do you suggest the maintenance gets done? 7:00am? 9:30pm?

Because someone read the first post, but not the responses, and felt the need to post what's already been posted, multiple times...

Nice New England attitude , no winter golfer or any golfer at all , but I have participated in the L street Brownies , New Years swim plunges over a dozen years , last time was 10 years ago I was 74 , it was bitter cold and I don’t spend enough time up there anymore to get somewhat acclimated, but never say never I guess , maybe in the years to come when I move back next year for good

Really? Complaining about the noise the maintenance workers are making? What about ambulances, loud vehicles, the turnpike noise, etc? Good lord, focus on your game and you’ll block out any noises you hear.

The last post was on Christmas Day.

As long as people keep replying (like you just did), it'll keep scrolling to the top and it'll take a while for it to scroll away to the depths of ToTV...

Not sure when you want the work to be done. Maybe your schedule just hasn’t crossed with them before. Many moons ago I use to work on a course and we cut or pulled the greens before the course open and cut the rest during the day. While cutting the fairways we quickly leaned who got ****ed off the most by us being their so they didn’t get special treatment but for others we would pull off and shut the motor off.

Good for you. I'd love to be the mower who was working when the previous poster said they "TOLD" the mowers to stop while they were playing the hole. That could be really fun.

Too bad this thread didn’t stay in rest.
