I went to play my local course today for the first time since we had our huge snow storm last Monday. The last three days have been over 40 degrees, and a lot of the snow has melted. Here we originally had 22 inches, but it has melted down to about four. Three people as a group went to play yesterday. I could tell by the footprints. Instead of kicking the snow off of the tee pads they just tromped around in it. Now since the temperature is back in the twenty's and will be for the rest of the winter, all the footprints have turned into super hard ice. If they had cleared the tee pads off it is highly likely that the tee pads would be in great shape today, but since they just tromped up tons of footprints in them they are totally unusable. They are so bad that you can not even do a stationary throw from them. The ice ridges from the footprints make it impossible to find even half way decent footing.
Since there were three people it would have taken all of thirty seconds to clear off the pads and make them better for everyone. But since they did not now we all are screwed for the rest of the winter, or until I go out there with a steel shovel and spend half a day chipping ice footprints off of them. When I am the first to play after a snow I always kick the snow off of the pads, and drag my bag from one end of the bench to the other to knock off all of the snow. I know for a fact that those who come after me are better off for having a clear place to sit and to throw. It only takes a couple of seconds to make a difference. About the same amount of time as it takes not to!
To the sons of motherless goats who screwed everyone else:
I hope someone kicks you in your bone smuggler for being a DB.
The green disc that you lost on #17 is still there. Go find it! I will give you a clue as to where it is. Look to the right side of the fairway about 80 feet down the hill. Good luck not killing yourself on that incline which is unclimbable even in the summertime. Yes I put it there for you. It was ten feet from the basket.
Next time think of those who come after you, and try to make it better for them. Not ten times worse!
To the rest of you I am sorry that I had to rant, but hopefully some DB out there will read this and stop and think and try to make a difference that WE WILL ALL BENEFIT FROM. It only takes a few seconds!
