Please identify the course so that maybe golf course employees that might read this will keep an eye out while they are working. I certainly would not want my dog sniffing, licking and running on all of the chemicals that are applied to the course.

Well.....an older gentleman with a white beard drives his cart with dog in tow, to the POLO field, and without getting out of his cart, lets his dog do his business, then immediately drives off. The poopetrator does this regularly. I've seen him many times.

I was also surprised to see a man walking a dog on the golf course a few weeks back. On Pinellas Championship Course. He does it when the course is closed. My husband told me that dog won't last long with all the chemicals they use on the course.

Perhaps this person doesn't know that they are not allowed to do this. What would be a polite way to inform them without hurting their feelings?

A lot of people don't get it, golf courses are for golfers only. I have had to wait for people with dogs to clear the fairway on a couple of occasions - I was playing late and by then the ambassadors were long gone. One time they were playing with the dog on a green, rolling a ball for the dog to fetch. Besides being where they shouldn't be, they are placing themselves in harms way.

When you see those little signs that read, "Golf Traffic Only", that means golfers only, no pedestrians, no sightseers, no dogs, etc.

So I would say something like, "You're putting yourself and your pet in danger, you should walk your dog elsewhere."

I guess if someone wants to do it there really isn't much that will stop them. (Unless someone calls community watch or the sheriff - they technically are trespassing on the championship courses.)

I'm not a dog owner but have noticed that there aren't sufficient "dog parks" in TV. The mail box area around some of the neighborhoods have become a popular place for dog owners. Not good. TV states: its pet friendly so why not have more dog parks?

I have novel idea. How about if everyone lets their pets pee and crap in their own yards?

I have a cousin in California and when we get together he is fond of telling me,
"If necessary, I would much rather inconvenience you than inconvenience myself!!!"

Lots of that going around!
