I especially like it when you are out, doing course work, alone, on a Saturday, in August it was close to 100 or more, I'm in jeans because I was taking out some small trees, and cutting up stuff piled up off to the side, my pickup was parked way out of the way so that it would not interfere with anyone playing. A group comes up to the tee, watches me for a bit, then one guy approaches, thinking he was gonna ask what I was doing, or something like that.....no, he asks me to move my truck. Now, I'm parked about 20' off the fairway WAYYYY on the right, the fairway dogs a severe left for the hole. I ask "How can I be in the way over here?" He said that's just how he throws the hole. Well call me an A**hole, but I didn't move. Going back to the original post on the thread, I'm fortunate in that I do a LOT of work on my home course, and it seems every tourney I play at it, my name and effort gets mentioned by the TD for it, and I get at least one or 2 "Thank yous" after the tournament. Those that want to gripe about something that bothers them on a course, especially a home course, take even 15-20 minutes before you play your round to do SOMETHING about it, you'd be surprised what you can get done in even a few minutes. Bring a pair of clippers and put in your bag to clip back small branches during a practice round, etc... I'm part of THEY, and very proud of it.
And for David Sauls....at some point soon, I'm gonna try and get over to help on your course as well!
