Clarke comes right back with an eagle of his own as the rain comes in.

Slow greens, I go after the pin. Then try to ram it home, I don't play much break, as you know you hit through most of it on slow greens.

It really depends on the resources you have at your disposal, mainly in terms of manpower. I worked at one of the better semi-private clubs in the area, and we mowed greens every day, regardless of how hot it was going to get. But we also had a 17-man crew which allowed us to syringe the greens all day. From 11:00 on, we had 3 guys who were responsible for 6 greens each. Most courses don't have that kind of manpower, so their next best option is to keep the greens longer. I think a lot of public courses in my area are understaffed, because even the really good public courses are using this tactic to help "save" their greens - and they've never done so in the past. |

The club I worked at was smart enough to realize that it's better to have every tee-time filled, even at a discount than to leave it empty because you refused to get the full fee for it. There are quite a few course here where the twilight rate is still over $40. That's ****ing ridiculous. It's also why my rounds are way down this year. I usually play 30+ rounds a year, I've played 11 times. |

Golf is a gentleman's sport, but some of thes guys dress like clowns.

We've opened up to the public, membership drives with massive discounts. Hard to compete when the club down the road has dues that are half of ours(never mind that the owner of that course subsidizes it with 300k/year).

No I was stating that having slow greens means ALOT less work for the crew, hell if they can get away with it and keep the job, then why not. This is what I do, and rest assured I will have a hose in my hand every morning for the the next week hand watering, but we will still have the fastest greens around, stinting at 11 to 12 in these conditions, in the morning with moisture on. Cutting at .09 of an inch, and verticutting several times throughout the year.

Most courses are really struggling. IMO people are just so busy anymore, and the economy. The course that I am at now is the only one I know of that is booming, and unfortunately I think the board takes it for granted in these tough times.
