Unfortunately a problem I have faced more than I would expect has been golf course vandalism. Its to be expected that a small number of people would not be patient and understanding as you work to restore a golf course back to acceptable conditions. We have made huge steps each season and now have a nice playable golf course. With the Greens completely grown in and rolling nice I was shocked to see someone take a divot on #14 Green like last season. It just goes to show that no matter what you do some people just dont care.
Having the support of the community around the golf course has been very crucial to our success. It has been nice to build a strong relationship with those who live around the golf course. I really feel like everyone wants to see the golf course succeed.Recently we have had some kids playing soccer on our #6 and #7 Green. Although its easy to think the cleats are helping us aerify Greens, the holes put into the Green make putting very difficult. You can also see the sliding of the cleat has scarred the Green pretty badly. Lets keep the soccer matches on the pitch which has the correct grass type and height of cut. Thanks.
