点评:Absolutely the most horrible experience I have ever had at a golf course.
What makes it even more disappointing is that I have played here for close to 50 years, going all the way back to when it was Twin Lakes. This used to be a place where the staff was friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. Sadly, that is no longer the case.
It’s bad enough that there is little to no sand in the majority of the bunkers, but now they have instituted a policy prohibiting golfers from bringing small, insulated personal coolers — even when the cooler is needed to carry medication. Instead, you are given a plastic bag with ice that is essentially melted after three holes.
I understand wanting to address the handful of people who get rowdy or bring alcohol onto the course. But punishing the overwhelming majority of responsible golfers because of the actions of a few is simply unreasonable. There are better ways to address the problem without inconveniencing everyone.
I actually felt bad for the starter who had to deliver the message. He was a good guy and was simply doing what he was told.
Our golf group is relatively small — 16 golfers — but to a man, we have agreed that we will never play here again. After nearly 50 years of playing here, that is a pretty sad statement to have to make.
It’s a shame to see a place that I once enjoyed so much become an experience I would now recommend avoiding.
翻译:这是我打高尔夫球以来经历过的最糟糕的体验。
更让人失望的是,我在这里打球已经近50年了,从这里还叫双湖球场的时候就开始了。过去这里的工作人员总是友善、热情且乐于助人。可惜,现在再也不是这样了。
大多数沙坑里几乎没有沙子,这已经够糟糕的了;而现在他们又出台了一项政策,禁止高尔夫球手携带小型……带有保温功能的个人冰桶——即便在需要用它来携带药品的情况下也是如此。然而,实际提供给球员的只是一个装有冰块的塑料袋,而袋子上开了三个孔后冰块很快就融化了。
我理解主办方希望管束那些行为粗鲁或携带酒精进入球场的少数人。但仅仅因为少数人的行为就惩罚绝大多数守规矩的高尔夫球手,实在是不合理。其实有更好的办法来解决问题,而不会给所有人带来不便。说实话,我很同情那个不得不传达这个消息的发球员。他是个好人,只是在执行命令而已。
我们的高尔夫球友圈规模不大——只有16个人——但我们一致决定再也不会来这里打球了。在连续近50年都来此打球之后,如今却不得不说出这样的话,真是令人难过。
曾经让我乐此不疲的这个地方,如今却变成了一个我劝大家千万别去的地方,真是可惜啊。
