Random aside.... I feel like I saw deer baiting contraptions setup all along the right hand side of Hole 11's (I think) fairway.
Is this legal?
Yup. One of my friends was pretty rattled by the teebox that juts out over the cliff/water edge.Hear you for sure on the pads. I hated teeing off from the docks/platforms.
I emailed two days in advance to ask for a free or discounted pass due to advanced age and mild disability. I received an email far too late from Mike Rivard and was seriously injured falling off one of the elevated tee pads. His comments came across to me as those of a right wing, Tea Party Republican type who says people shouldn't get any government entitlements, while he is in the construction business and his entire career is founded on taking handouts from the government.
Here are the offensive parts of his email:
"Although this doesn't help pay for the course it would certainly help alleviate the overwhelming guilt you must feel when asking for a "free ride" when everyone else is so happy to support the cause. Because we really want to see you have an opportunity to play BRP as well and hate to have you hurt yourself scraping for cash under your seat..."
This is really offensive, especially to someone who has a physical issue (even worse that I got injured and he didn't respond to that email telling him they need guard rails on hole #17--the other two don't necessarily).
He was also sarcastic in his conclusion, offering me free play for work, and saying he was glad they could help out, looked forward to seeing me, and that I should 'drive safe and seeya soon'.
He may have thought he was funny, but he was a total douchebag.
Any VQ members have an issue with the course being public now? I mostly play on weekday mornings and for me to play the course at those times I had to buy a membership, which I purchased on 5/29/16. I might play the course a dozen times in the year, twice this year. I did not mind paying the membership cost as it would let me play the course on my schedule. I understand that the course is getting more traffic and they want to maximize profits. But selling private memberships even in the last month and than opening it to the public is very deceptive.
Edit: I really do enjoy playing the course and the maintenance they do is phenomenal. They have also added black tees that make the course even more challenging.
Sure if you are in close proximity and play a high # of rounds there. Its an hour out of my day just getting there and back.If membership provides free play like an annual pass, then isn't it still a deal? If members still have to pay $10 each time then certainly there would hopefully be some additional membership benefits added.

Not saying what they are doing is right or wrong. Just asking the question if membership included free play. You say it does. That's all.No it is not a deal! I payed $200 for a private membership to play the weekdays as did many other members. Than 30 days later I do not even need a membership to play on the weekdays. If you read what I posted I said I might play the course 10 times, mostly on weekdays. So for a non member it would cost them $100. For me a "member" it costs me $200. So now I have paid them an extra $100 for no additional benefits. :wall: Not sure how you think what they are doing is right. I guess that $100 to them is nothing since it is in their pocket. That is all from me on this subject. I will still play there but it leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
Why on Earth would you think that advanced age and mild disability would entitle you to play a private course for free?

Just posted that VQ not part of Majestic. All three rounds now at BRP.
