I know I posted something about this before, but I'm still curious how Selah (and places like it?) handles the hosting of DG events, when they have paying bed-and-breakfast customers who are there for the golf?
Example: John just posted that there will be some pre-Am-World-Doubles events:
"
More to follow, including details on these three events:
Saturday, March 1st at Selah. Hot Round Showdown #2 -- Can you set the course record for your division?
One round on Lakeside, one round on Creekside.
Saturday, March 22nd at Selah. Bring Your Partner Doubles.
"
I've had Spring reservations at Selah since October for my group of 7 guys, going there specifically to play golf. It turns out it's not on either of the dates listed above. But what if it were?
As a guy dropping a lot of money for this trip, I'd be fairly pissed if Selah scheduled an event that might attract 30, 40, or more golfers to be on the courses while I'm there. As a paying customer who knows what they have there, I don't expect exclusivity.....but I also don't expect a bunch of foursomes playing an organized event. Does anybody understand that? Or am I being unreasonable?
What's the right view here? Is that just a risk that the bed-and-breakfast guests take? I can see it from both sides. I mean, presumably Selah is making some money off the event too. It's obviously their place, and their right. But at the expense of pissing off the people who are also dropping loads on lodging?
If you truly want to be a Disc Golf Destination, and attract people to stay and play, should you be scheduling events on top of guests?
Or do you think Selah takes all this into account? As in, before they give the okay for an event, do they make sure that none of their guests on that date are there for the golf? I find that highly doubtful. Are there other bed-and-breakfast types place, that also have golf, that also host events? If so, how do they handle it?
