Asking for divot relief is a loser’s mentality. You’ve already conceded that you can’t do something and that the result will be worse. You’re admitting you can’t do something thousands of other golfers can do. Stop it. Hit the ball and surprise yourself.

@GCIMagazineGuy Like the ones that maintain turf in stadia all over the country?

@mattpauli @GCSAAConference On the runway? That would close the airport.

@genesis_band At one point in this they mash up four different bits.

@_KeithCook That’s more of a Monday Twitter post.

@SHistorians There’s a case study here in golf course evolution that is largely going unheralded. From brutish monster twenty years ago to an elegant, even understated, course (and club) now.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook He also said others were complaining about it before too. So something isn’t adding up here. Did he know or didn’t he? Why 35%?

@JaysonNickol @TErickson99 @_KeithCook Agree it wasn’t cheap. Can’t think of any $175 green fee I feel is a bargain. But you do.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook I’m happy to discuss why 35% is appropriate here and how you don’t know the $175 wasn’t already a discount. And yes, I’m actually in charge of a budget and am accountable to the people signing the fronts of the check, not the back.

@JaysonNickol @TErickson99 @_KeithCook Your own valuation places it at a 30% discount already! I only keyed in on why 35% for this situation.

@JaysonNickol @TErickson99 @_KeithCook Really that’s why I asked how much you valued the course. Because that 35% has to mean SOMETHING.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook I agree with you. But I wouldn’t pay a dime more than $50 at a $50 mini. He would at this $175 golf course. Significantly more. He didn’t say he wouldn’t.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook Put it another way: I’d probably pay more than $5 for a Hot N Ready from Little Caesers but I know I’m not paying for six sigma level QC there.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook And frankly, knowing that is what differentiates a good customer I’d want to keep v. a customer I’m okay with losing.

@gurreggg Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

@TErickson99 @JaysonNickol @_KeithCook Asking what they would pay for a perfect course is just a valid as to asking what that perfect course is.
