Beaver Creek is the standard of very good public golf conditions so it's hard to put anyone up against them and say they're better than beaver. The Island is a better money value for public golf around BR. Course conditions are fine at the Island. They did just solid tine greens Monday.

They are doing a good job out there at coppermill. nice fun golf course. love the 6 6 6 design

I'm glad someone here understands how the maintenance side is going these days. just because in a pro shop guys eye it can be done doesn't mean that golf courses can actually do it.

You're were not helping SM or anyone else with your comments so dont get on me anout what im saying. You were putting everyone down in this industry that isn't setup like your course. Theres a dozen cousres in the BR area that you feel should be at a standard that isn't achievable for everyone because you dont know anyone's situation but yours. We all help one another in the maintenance departments. Proshop staff always oversteps their boundaries just like you did in this thread. If you dont help maintenance on the course here or there then you dont need to be suggesting how we should be doing our jobs. You're known to do this often.

I glad you brought that up. I never thought about going to the GM for more money ???????. How could i not think of that?

Again, you're not comparing apple to apples. There's 4 courses around BR that have way more money than all the others and you're at one of them. Stay in your lane. The funny part is ive heard your members tell our proshop staff our greens rolled better than your new so called fancy greens and we're just a small speck in the BR golf sea compared to everyone else

what course are you at then if it's so good and stacked with people because all the public courses pay about the same and they all can't find good people. the public golf industry can't afford to pay $18-$25 per hour to every crew guy. so obviously were not comparing apples to apples.

no one covers greens around BR

everything should be done at 9am? yea ok. nice try. impossible without a crew of 10+ and the equipment for those guys. youd be very suprised how many public courses have 5-7 guys counting supers, mechanic and assistants

this is coming from someone that works in the golf business on the maintenance side. when a course is that busy all the time, it's extremely hard to maintain it properly and keep it good all the time. Not making excuses but when the golf course is fully slammed at 9:30am, how do you expect workers to get work done while being respectful to golfers with the equipment noise? Everyone wants to complain why this isn't done and why that isn't done, why do that suck, why is this and that. just my two cents. no one ever thinks about that. it's just always to straight negative when something isn't right. everyone is spoiled. back in the 90's and early 200's, 30k rounds of golf was extremely busy but it allows maintenance to maintain golf courses. now SM run 50k+ a yr. that's just insane numbers to think about with zero window these days to properly get work done being open 7 days a week. every course should be closed for a maintenance day.

Its different on Bermuda greens than Bermuda in your yard or roughs, tees and fwys. take my advice and leave this subject alone. This chemical it will damage the greens, You will not find a superintendent that will put it on their greens.

Not in the near future last i was told
