OH NO, I can't believe I said that.

I think the reward coupon entitles the bearer to an additional 10% off.

I used one reward coupon several years ago and I think I got the 10% plus an additional 10%.

But that really doesn't add up to 20% off, because the additional 10% comes off after the original 10% is deducted.

THAT MATH REALLY WON"T MAKE SENSE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE!!!

They think a "sale" item that is 25% off and marked down another 50% gets them 75% off. NOT TRUE

I have received about a dozen of these coupons in the last few years, but keep forgetting to turn them in. :oops:

I don't do it for the coupons (or to keep count), I do it because it's the thing that a considerate golfer does without even thinking about it.

As to the OP, I think it is left up to each Ambassador and it is more the 'luck of the draw' if they see something or choose to give you one.

Please don't stop doing the right thing though.....as the rest of us really appreciate it. :thumbup:

People do different things to stay loose and I stay loose by helping keep the courses better than what I find them and not engaging in meaningless chitchat while playing. One can only take so much of listening to someone drone on about their complete medical history while playing so I fix marks, divots and traps to pass that time; don't worry, I don't hold the group up or slow groups behind me when doing this tidying up.

Sounds like you don't enjoy the people you golf with. :(

LOL, I noticed the same thing. And found the "look at me" accusation quite ironic.

And the bottom line is you get a 10% discount on merchandise that is outrageously over priced.

Some I do, some I don't. I just go out and focus on playing the best I can.
