"TEPaul,
If you have to educate them the day before you appoint them, you've made the wrong choice."
Pat:
I agree, but why didn't you just you tell us in the first place what you think those "best interests" are they should have at heart about the course?
Do you have the best interests of the course at heart sir?
"I most certainly do!"
Well, what are those best interests about the course you have at heart?
"I think we should have flower beds around every tee and make this course look really pretty with lots of pretty trees and deep green grass."
You call that 'having the best interests of the course at heart'?
"I sure do, the course will be so pretty, everyone at the club will be so proud of it!"
What about enhancing shot values, options, strategies, firm and fast etc?
"What do those things mean, they don't sound like they belong on a pretty golf course?"
