Well, my "story" hasn't changed. The play there is painfully slow. my group regularly plays at Eagle , Bay Club and Lighthouse and finishes in about 3 ½ to 4 hours and includes a mix of walkers and riders.
If you haven't seen the "Marshals" hiding in the woods that maybe shows you something about how good they are are how observant you are. As a side, at Eagles and elsewhere, the "Marshals" are referred to a "Players Assistance". I made a suggestion to the head pro that that sounded a little more friendly and the response was that they are "Marshals", frankly I wouldn't be surprised to see them packing. You know, give a little authority to some people and they go all SWAT on you. I don't know who has ever "alleged a majority", perhaps you can enlighten the forum on a source for that statement and just maybe we should have an OP wide poll to determine what the community feels should be done. Has anyone ever done that, or are the BoD and GM a little shy of knowing the direction the community wants to go. I could see where the course was a great amenity in the early development of OP, but since then there has been a pretty substantial proliferation of quality courses, the demographics has changed considerably, and if the community thought it is such a "great amenity" I would think they would be there. As it is they seem to have voted with their wallets and play elsewhere. I'm going out on a limb here but when I was looking at other similar developments developed much later than OP, if a golf course was "included", it was a separate entity and set up to not burden the community with potential debt. And that makes me wonder if the Golf Course is on our Replacement Reserve Fund. I'd go look but then I would have to deal with facts and that's no fun at all |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Bob, So now the narrative is changing to the early morning drinkers who are slowing down your play. I agree that these types of players are annoying. I also read earlier that the marshals were "hiding in the woods", which I have never seen. I agree that running a golf course is not in the wheelhouse of the GM or BOD. Hence BCG and LU. The issue is who can run it effectively. The numbers have improved under LU so far. Let's wait and see. None of this gets to the real issue. The golf course is a great amenity and we should do everything we can to run it at a breakeven. Shutting it down because some people, and not some alleged majority, don't want to pay for it in their assessments isn't a reason to turn it into a park. IMHO. Larry |
