Water buckets empty
We played Palmer on Thursday and every water bucket we came to on Riley was empty. You would think that since the Ambassadors have so little to do, they could at least notify the proper people to bring fresh new cold water when needed. This is much more important now that we are about to enter into summer and must stay hydrated.
|
So, what did the Ambassador say when you made this suggestion?
|
Call the starter shack
|
Did you consider reporting to the proper people?
|
We take out own water in insulated 24 ounce containers. If I drink more there’s not enough bathrooms:girlneener:
|
Remember!
100% of all people who drink water die. Cheers. :beer3: |
You know what they say about Assume!

I hope you're one of the many golfers fixing their divots and repairing their ball marks on the greens. And too, one of the many golfers who rakes the sand and places the rake properly back in the trap. I encourage you to be a responsible adult and prepare for the day by taking your own supplies with you or purchase what you need at the starter huts at the beginning or when making the turn. Or you too can alert the ambassador or the starters if you find something amiss on the golf course. And I encourage you also to apologize to all our hard working Ambassadors out there. They are fewer in the ranks as a result of increased minimum wage and cut backs to maintain budgets. Applications are available if you too are worthy to join their ranks and see what "little they have to do." YIKES! |

I always bring my own water. I never drink out of coolers on the course. Just me but I prefer clean drinking water.

Call the starter shack, their phone number is right there on your score card.

Spot on.
|
Ambassadors do a great job and are appreciated. Perhaps bring your own water?
|
The maintenance people fill the on course water buckets in the morning not the ambassador. If you look behind the tower they have padlocks on them. They do not work all day. They mow, cut the pins and set tee markers and do some cleanup and go home. Bring your own drinks especially if you play in the afternoon.

Can’t Blame the snowbirds for this!
|
Ball washers empty, too
I’ve noticed on some courses there is no fluid in the ball washers. I suppose I could bring along my own washing fluid, aka water, but as long as there are ball washing stations on pretty much each hole, you’d expect them to be filled.

I wish we could go back to the old days (pre-pandemic) when the ambassadors carried water on their carts - wonder how much $$$ they save now
|
At some point your right. I guess thats why it's said "noone gets out of here alive.

Drink cart girls would end this conversation.

That is the responsibility of grounds crew not ambassador
|
I've run into the same problem on another course but I carry an insulated water container that holds ice for the entire round. When I run out of water, I refill at one of the water coolers at the restrooms. No problem making 18 holes and I usually have ice cubes left.

Lots of excuses for something that is inexcusable. If I were responsible, it would never happen. It's just incompetence, and there is plenty of that going around everywhere today.

Water on the golf courses / both champion and executive
I also have come upon empty and also stale water on the courses.
Also, they should be at the starter shack and then at the 5th hole. Than there would only be 4 holes between water availability. Now they are on hole four or five and that means eight or nine holes between water. THAT IS NOT GOOD! Art G |
you would think players would bring their own water when it's so hot?
|
very well said
|
I always bring my own refreshing beverages as well as leave my house in plenty of time so I don't run others off the cart paths!😃

I just checked, and I've played golf 80 times in the last 12 months. Other's have probably played much more. I do remember one week where the ice machine was broken at Tierra Del Sol and the water wasn't as ice cold as it usually was-but other than those 2 times, I've always enjoyed the refreshing, cold water that is almost always there.
78 times out of 80. I can live with that. |

And you have not learned to bring your own water??? |
Thank god I am not old enough to golf yet! I am only 63 y/o so i don't have all the issues you old whiners have!!
|
I always bring a large container cup of water from home, hardly ever use the provided water.
