Default Golf course maintenance

The hole I live on is now the wettest it has been since Hurricane Milton, with large areas of standing water and the pond overflowing it's usual boundary. Yet all weekend, the maintenance workers are driving their heavy carts and other equipment right down the middle of the fairway instead of staying in the rough leaving damage in their wake. Who trains these people????? The golfers can't drive their much lighter carts down the fairway, but these guys are racing right along at what appears to be 30 mph. I'm sure golfers will come across other areas of damage on many courses that are obviously caused by maintenance workers. And before somebody posts it, I intend to speak with the pro or country club administration later today.

Good luck with that GE, Bonifay courses are the same way. Since they changed the contract with a new company to handle maintenances of these courses to reduce cost, its become a mess, they do not pick up debris, it sits there for days if not weeks! Talking to the pros is a waste of time they have NO Authority to do Squat, Good luck!

Yes that is true, but i would go directly to the top and see if you get a response from the powers to be. Since there last lawsuit to pay back 541 million they have to get the money from somewhere, lol
