I hear ya.....this is a phenomenon which occurs everywhere. Those that holler the loudest about "fixing" the course, are the exact ones that never lift a finger to do any of the work, or even pick up litter.
[The whole concept of littering baffles me. Some humans are just not good people. I would love to attend a get together at a litter bugs house, just to get a reaction from them, as I throw my trash on their floor. (You don't honestly expect me to walk all the way to the trash can in the kitchen, do you?) Perhaps then, they MIGHT get it. Not likely, but maybe.]
I do work on my local courses because it needs doing....not because I like doing it. No one else seems to care about getting it done. It is much easier just to complain about it. It seems to me, based on your post, that you are built the same way I am....you do it because no one else is going to get it done. More power to you, when someone complains, ask them to set a time that both of you can get to the course to get the work done, watch how fast they shut up. I used this technique the other day. I was asked if I could trim the growth around a tree that was now infringing on the fairway. I said, "Sure, when do you want to meet so we can get it done?" That was the end of that conversation.
Keep up the good work!! Sometimes, when others see you out there doing the work, it will motivate them to help out, either right then or maybe later....it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Hang in there.
