Second chance was at the bathroom but no you couldn't fill a cup due to lack of pressure. Third chance at last water station didn't have any water period!!! Sorry but this is unacceptable!! Remember the good old days when the ambassadors drove up and asked if you wanted some cold water; they say they can't do it safely any more when you ask. Just another example of poor golf management; or as they like to say blame it on the weather!!

Guess this applies to you also…

Bottled water not cheap anymore, beside’s not requirement to furnish bottled water anyway.

I never rely on someone else to provide beverages for me. Beside’s with all horror stories related to water coolers won’t catch me drinking from one.

Wonder why/who decided it would be a good idea to NOT have the ambassadors offer cold water ? Is there any chance that, in the future, they will begin putting "for sale" bottles of water on all ambassador carts ? I know probably not "beer/sandwich" offerings as that involves licenses, health inspections, etc. but perhaps at least selling the previously free water ? Who knows ! Have not even checked, is free water still offered to tennis and pickle ball players ?
