Section 5: OPA Board Subject: COPE Golf Petition? Msg# 879543

| Both of my sons are golfers, my oldest is a member of Talamore (Ambler, PA) and the youngest is a member of the Philadelphia Cricket Club. They both enjoy challenging rounds of golf and I'm guessing that a large percentage of the golfers that come down for the 3 or 4 day package play are serious golfers as well. Doesn't it make sense that they would enjoy our course? Maybe some of the package operators could answer the question? Maybe we need to advertise in one or more of the golfing magazines? | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I agree with your friend, it is a difficult course especially when compared to the "resort courses" around here which are very open and have large greens. After all, folks who don't enjoy a hard course don't come back so they do make them playable compared to ours. By the way, in olden times we used wound balls and soft covers and even the amateur could "hold the green" with an approach shot, now you have to be really good and young to get the spin required, especially since balls today are designed to spin less. Don't think what you see on TV is even the same game as played by ordinary mortals, those guys/gals are gods. Yes folks would come, at least once. The golf business is in general decline as people don't want to spend 4 or 5 hours on one activity, I think it may exceed their attention span. I generally think it is better to let the folks who know the golf business run the business, not just manage the course. I haven't met or heard of any board or committee members who know the golf business, but I could be wrong. So if you don't know the business, how do you evaluate the decisions etc of the managers. How do you even know what they are talking about? Just sayin' |
