Default Sprinklers spraying cart paths

Who do you contact to ask that they adjust the timing of the sprinklers along the cart paths? There have been too many times coming or going when the sprinklers are spraying reclaimed water over the paths, into and on the carts in the early evening hours. Why can't they be timed to water later when there is minimal cart traffic?

You can't go wrong starting with Customer Service.

Water pressure and the number of available hours might play into the timing. You can't have every golf course watering at the same time. Perhaps they are starting as late as they can in order to get everything watered before morning.

Good way to get them to think about closing the course 30 minutes earlier - can you drive around the sprinkler heads?

Going up and down Buena Vista there are a number of sprinkler heads that need to be adjusted. If they don’t start early enough the might nit get everything watered. There are miles and miles of watering to do. We see it after 9 or 10 on many nights. Earlier in the week we did get blasted in the face which made for a colder ride home but we survived no problem.

Cart paths are on golf courses.

Some folks mistakenly call the MMPs "cart paths." I've been here 6 years and still call it "cart paths" when I am driving on it except in the morning when we are walk/running and then I call it "running paths." That being said I simply roll up my cart's windows and turn on the wipers and A/C when "carting" if being sprinkled on.

One has eight letters and a space while the other has only three? One is an initialism that ought to be capitalized while the other is comprised of two words?

In usage around here, they are nearly synonymous.

As used in this thread, cart path appears to mean the blacktop paths.

All my drinking buddies at City Fire call MMP's cart paths.
After spending evening drinking, then having to drive home totally wasted, "Carpa" is so much easier to say than "Mulli Moall Par"
Cheers!
