We are in that time of year now that you will see more hoses out on the golf course, especially on the greens. Everyone on my staff has been instructed to be aware of the golfer and where there hose may lay. They will do everything in there power and in a timely fashion to move out of your way. As we are hand watering the greens the management staff will make there way checking each and every green for proper moisture levels and to cool the green when we are approaching high temperatures. They only have a slight window to work around the golfer so please let them inspect the green and give what is needed at that time. There time on the green really is only about 30 seconds to 2 minutes tops, depending on the severity of how dry it may be. They do not try to follow any groups rather than avoiding any play if at all possible. I would ask that we be patient and they will be gone on to there next green, and please do not hit into them. Typically we have 2-4 guys checking greens on each side and 2-6 guys checking fairways and tees.
One last note, there has been a rash of ball marks going around lately so please find yours and one other for the groups behind you. Green and white stakes have been placed in high traffic areas to move carts a certain way protecting the grass, pay attention to these as they are moved on an as needed basis. And this is your golf course, take care of it and enjoy your round of golf with your friends, family and guests.
