Went to a local golf course (the closest to my house) to play a round yesterday. It was really windy, but was warm and sunny. That made a great excuse to go play 18. It was a busy day as only two golf carts were not in use. My friend and I loaded up our bags and I went to put my stuff in the front of the cart only to see that someone had used it as an ashtray. Yuck. Now I have an aversion to cigarette's, so the sight turned my stomach a bit. However I didn't want to make a fuss so I just put up with it.
We got to the first tee and I noticed several cigarette butts strewn around the tee box. Some were still smoldering. Found several along the first fairway, and even some ON the green. The only thing more common on the greens, aside from the cigarette butts, were unrepaired divots. By the time we were done, I was beyond mad. Of course, the pro shop was closed by the time we finished our round so I couldn't say anything.
I don't want to fire off a nasty email to the club, because it's the people using the course who are to blame ... how would you write a letter letting them know that people are ruining the course?
