Let me say this I have lost a disc in that same pond . . . I did not try and get it because it was dead int he middle of the pond. Would I have retrieved it if it was visible and right on the edge hell yes (even if the rule was stated right there). I dont fault you for trying to find the disc, but climbing into the pond is a little above what Iw ould have been willing to do. Why are there rakes? I dont know but if I needed one to get my disc I would do it.
However if I was approached and told I cannot do that because that is the rule I would have listened obeyed and responded to the worker apologetically and say i didnt know the rule. I wonder if there was a particular reason he said that is rule, perhaps it did look like you were trying to recover a bunch of discs which they already do. Maybe he jumped to a conclusion and handled it wrong (we dont knwo we werent there) but your inability to see that giving an incredible course a zero is a little flawed states to your intelligence, or maybe more importantly your common sense and personality. I am not saying that to pick on you, it just seems to me that you do not understand the complaint. I am the one that brought it up with a private message to you, then posted it on here to start a discussiuon because I did not think that I was alone in thinking the review and rating were not "valid". It was deleted to preservde the integrity of the system on this site, and if you cannot see that, that is proof of my feelings about your intelligence and personailty.
Again no offense, just my observation. I do also find it strange you signed up for the site, wrote a bad review and posted it all on the same day you played the course . . . why is it that important to you, maybe you should have told the owner how you felt (maybe you did I dont know) and left it at that. I have no problem with you not returning, that is your purogative. When I have a problem with service or an establishment I am always more than willing to give my honest feedback about what I felt. I am a business owner so I know how important that kind of thing is, but also being a business owner has shown me that you cannot always please "everybody" some people are just douches!
