Upon reading of a "Golf guy" on another thread and how owners sometimes bring these guys to a project......there have to be some stories out there....I just didn't realize other people had these guys show up. NOW not to say that there are not some very good advisors out there but you know what I mean if you have ever seen a "golf guy". Usually hired by an owner that doesnt play much golf but has a friend that knew a friend that knew the "Golf Guy".....they show up with those little thin soled loafers that fat guys wear out in a day, have the "product" in their hair, married at least 3 times, usually a two seat sports car, gold chain and lately they are growing those little goat tees.....know what i mean?
I had one hired by an owner that had purchased a course we did...show up as the new pro....advise him on how to make the course less expensive to maintain and produce more rounds....directed me to remove all of my bunkers or he would hire someone else.....he hired someone else.....he made it a year and that owner bankrupted....
And then we always have the one that knows "Jack" or whomever and tells how they did it at his last project......if he is hired after you he advises the owner that he really needs to have a "signature" involved in some aspect.
Who else has spotted these guys?
