Our job as a Turf Department is to present the golf course in the best possible condition within the means we have to work with. We strive everyday to make Fox Meadow a fun and enjoyable place to play golf. It is so frustrating and disappointing when we come upon situations like the one pictured above. Now we are used to fixing damage...it goes with the job and most times its simply a mistake made by somebody. But in this case it's simply disrespect. How could missing a put, in the rain, during the first week of May justify this type of response??? How can missing a put ever justify this kind of behavior???
Think about how all of the fellow golfers that came behind you felt about your little tantrum. Imagine how you would have felt if you had played #6 like a violin and ended up missing a birdie or eagle put because of this scar...you would be none too pleased. So please, if you find yourself in this situation again, pause and think before swinging your putter and scarring the green. Also if you ever see a playing partner doing something like this, let him know that we don't tolerate this type of thing at Fox Meadow.
If I ever come over the hill and catch someone doing this type of damage, it will be a long time before they play at Fox Meadow again.
