      I like fixing ball marks. It’s an accomplishment to hit a green so you should always repair yours and at least one other. It’s called golf etiquette but I’m sure it doesn’t get taught much anymore. 😢

  • @Namesi
    @Namesi Месяц назад +2

    I'm not sure how your current "orientation" goes when new guests arrive, but if you're not already doing it I would explain that this course and its equipment are run by a one-man show and that it's done out of pure love and passion - and that it should be treated with the same respect by its guests. If upon inspection it's determined that the group isn't upholding that standard then they will be barred from the course and refunds will not be given. In the vain of catching more flies with honey, you might even add the stipulation that if all divots and pitch marks are repaired and carts are driven and parked where they should be then the group will get some exclusive merch reserved only for the most respectful guests. I know this shouldn't have to be incentivized in the first place but it might just be the nudge some people need to not be buffoons. Either way I love the channel and your passion for the game and course management and hope to someday make the trek from California if you decide to keep it open to the public. Cheers!

One of the first recruits our son met was from Waverly, OH which was cool since my ancestors have been in Waverly forever. I have a cousin in Waverly in construction thats probably about your age, I've always figured you might know him. Our family treats West Point gear as almost sacred, we don't put things in the recycling items. I have a West Point mom shirt I'd love to pass along to Miss Kim and I also have a West Point Dad shirt I'd like to send you if you're interested. Shirts like those have a shelf life since our son is now in line for a promotion to Lt. Col. His wife is also a West Pointer. I'd love to pass them along to you.

  • @TT_TT-i8p
    @TT_TT-i8p Месяц назад

    You should consider an artificial turf green if you plan to continue to rent out the course. Realistically, guests are going to want to play a lot of golf when they stay and that being the only green for a "9 hole" course AND having the chipping area right at the house means its going to get pelted hundreds or thousands of times every weekend and is going to be nearly impossible to keep in great shape. Even with "good" guests that respect the course and try to repair ball marks you cant expect that they will do a perfect job or be as attentive to the green as you, the owner, will be. Its inevitable that there will be bad guests that do more than their fair share of damage, too.
    Im sure you spend a high % of your maintenance time caring for the green. A good artificial green would probably save you tons of time, , money, and headaches in the long run and really would not diminish what youve built here.
    Maintaining a real green is probably a labor of love for you but once you open up the course to heavy use from others you will probably always be frustrated at the state of it and the wear and tear it will take from heavy use.

    This is unfortunate. I wish I could say I am surprised by these events, but I am not. We now accept that we live in a world where people just don't care about or respect any interests than their own. Numerous independent courses in Central Ohio have gone away in recent years, largely owing to patron abuse or indifference, The tough (or odd) thing is that pros are generally reluctant to admonish bad guests, for fear of bad online reviews. So the good guests suffer, and eventually stay away.
    You will have to post a sign with basic Golf Etiquette rules at the check-in, mark and emphasize the areas for cart use and cart scatter, and basic golf-course behavior and requirements, like four-golfer group max, set of clubs for each player, and reasonable pace of play. If not, you will be overrun with groups essentially "hanging out" on the course; drinking, smoking, betting, playing music, and or guys driving too close to tee boxes and around greens, improperly enter, exiting, and otherwise abusing bunkers, and dropping flags or wearing improper footwear on greens.
    There are a few privately owned and operated courses in Central Ohio that I make a point of playing, because I'd like them to stay in business, but most of them have clearly-defined standards for guests. They may not get as many rounds as they could without these standards, but it makes for a better experience for guests, and saves the owners from hours of work and constant grief.
    Good luck, whatever you decide ...

So what would you prefer, fixing the ball marks incorrectly causing damage to the green? or not fixing them at all and leaving them for someone to fix properly? Perhaps you should give every group of guests a run down on the green of how you want ball marks fixed before they go out on the course to play.

    If i had the opportunity to play this let alone backyard golf course - that course and green is spotless when my group leaves. Seeing those ball marks was tough to watch my goodness

    I would close to all aside from your own handpicked guests. Obviously there are too many people with no respect for anything.

    It's suck because I've never played and can't understand how someone who play the game destroy the greens because they are bad players

    you should have one of those long pole divot fixers by the bar i’m sure one person in the group would find it satisfying to fix them all

    Just leave one of those expensive repair claws so they don't have to bend over to fix every ball mark.
