Course Maintenance during the day?
 

This afternoon my wife and I played at El Diablo. The noise and interruptions by mowers was terrible. I used to brag about how nice it was to golf in The Villages because you are never disturbed by mowers. I hope this isn't a new maintenance practice that is being rolled out across all course. 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?

I always said work was distracting because of to much noise.

I'm sure they will..... if you ask them and not us. The people on this site only think they are in charge..... they really aren't. :thumbup:

Perhaps you'd prefer that maintenance is done at night?

Or, maybe they should close the courses 2 days a week for maintenance, so no one is bothered by "noise"?

When do you suggest they mow? Should they call to check on YOUR T-times?

Just goes to show, you just cant please some people...

Have seen multiple complaints about the lack of courses maintenance. I think it’s a first the complainant is about actually maintaining the course?

On the championship courses, the crew does stop running the small machines when golfers are around. Big mowers will slow down. Ever tried to do any yard work at night? Not a good idea and can be dangerous.

15 minutes later, the OP said this:

"I played Tierra Del Sole on Monday of this week it was in great shape and the greens were ran true. Thank you for the care given to this course. It is a pleasure to play."

So, does he want maintenance or not want it?

Good one. LOL!

I never understood why it had to be so quiet when playing golf? In baseball a pitcher throwing a fastball can reach speeds of 91 mph and the crowd is very noisy. I wonder if scores would be higher if the baseball fans had to be quiet during pitches? I'm a non golfer enlighten me please.

Golf is best not used as a verb.

This happened to us recently. One of our girls walked over to the workers and told them to stop until we we were done putting and they very nicely complied.

Because that's how it's always been played on Television. If they do it on TV, it must be the right way.

Like the folks who take 3 minutes to line up a 2' Putt.

How dare they 🙈

Why was that necessary? You couldn’t putt with a little noise? You must be very important.
