The Staff and Rough

I liked:
My caddy trying to keep me focus on not hitting the ball in the rough.

Needs to improve:
I have played this course many times. I also have written comments about it which it doesnt seem to matter, but I am still going to continue telling the public if there any improvement from the last time I visit. First I am going start with the staff at the front desk. 14 Sept 2017, one of the ladies were very rude. Would you not think they remember you many times, be rude as she was about who I played with. I have always played with the Asian Bound / The Golf Club. She checked all the players in, and when it came to the other two Thai ladies and me that was playing with the club, she questions our integrity. I had to get the coordinator for him to say we were with the golf club. Secondly, again I am going to speak about the rough. It is too high. This is not a professional golf course because if it were, then it would be in the head lines that the rough is too high. The professional would even say the rough is too high. The caddies tell the player try not to hit in rough. We may not find. A golf course is supposed to be friendly play. Fairways cut, rough cut to the point the players can find their ball. I am not talking about rough that beyond the limits of the course, I am speaking about rough between the fairways. So whenever they do decide to cut it, now you have more possibilities of the equipment being damaged by striking balls that were not found. For some whatever reason to keep the grass cut low around the water hazard so that the balls roll in and high between the fairways so the players cannot find their balls and slow down play just dont make common sense. Here a suggestion if there not enough money to maintain the course. 1. How many people play there a month? a. Golf Clubs 25 b. Guest 25 c. Members 50 d. Professional Players 0 I am going use 100 as my example. 2. How much money are you making a month? a. Golf Clubs 25 b. Guest 25 c. Members 50 A set annual fee already paid. d. Professional Players 0 3. How can you get more players? a. Lower the price. b. Why? (1) Look at the distance people other than your member have to come and play. (2) Set a price that will ensure you get two or three times the players you get now. and it would eliminate (1). (3) Set a price that includes a Green fee, caddy fees, cart fee and a meal. (4) Have Dog Fights on the weekends. Its small tournaments of 16 to 32 players that managed by someone that ensure all players scores is recorded for the record so there not sand baggers playing. A set time is set for the tee time i.e., start out 1000am with 10-minute intervals between groups. Note This is fact. There are lots of courses in the US, at 3 pm which is considered x time their price includes a Green fee, cart fee, and a meal in the amount of 25 to 30 USD. This was in Washington State. There were times I could get on the course because it was booked out and I was only one. Bottom line the goal is to get people to the course to play as well when they finish having a meal which allows them to learn more about the course and area. Think outside the box. This is what I would do if I was managing the course and the rough would always be cut. In closing, I hope that management takes into consideration the public views and comments. Golf is supposed to be enjoyed by players and not frustrated because the rough is over grown on the course.
