A diplomat is someone who tells you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.
At the meeting with the summer members a question was brought up marking of GUR (grounds under repair). When I was asked but why I never mark areas GUR I had to explain that marking of the golf course in conjunction with the rules of golf falls under the pro shop's duties. On occasion I help them mark areas such as water and lateral hazards, and sometimes areas that we are actually working on from maintenance, but that is to help them ... not to take responsibility for their assignments. I bring this up because this is not the first time that I have been asked about this matter. Pro shop can, if they decide, mark any and all areas they consider GUR without even asking GCM.
Additionally, the pro shop also oversees the staking of the golf course and ensures that it is properly staked. Once again we help them from time-to-time but the overall responsible falls directly with the pro shop who writes the local rules and are the golf course's rules officials.
Lastly, the reflectors on the flag stick -- it was determined three years ago by the Green, Golf Committees and the Board that since the pro shop is the ones the sells the laser link and hears about one it is bad, that one every week or two they would send their outside service to clean the reflectors. Once per year, the golf course maintenance replaces ALL the reflectors and upon request from the pro shop replaces and bad one, but the day-to-day maintenance is done by the pro shop. I hope this answers why GCM doesn't do certain things around the golf course.
