Paid to play 9 holes, were warned that storms might be coming. Decided to try and play, but it started to rain on end of 1st hole. Played 2nd hole because it was parallel to 1st hole and ran back to clubhouse.
Proceeded to ask for a rain check to come back and play; the owner states, "You f***ing guys." Awkward silence; and again the owner says " You f***ing guys. He (the employee running the pro shop at the time we checked in) warned you." Flustered at this point, the owner then instructs the employee to not give us rain check certificates, but instead reimburse us for 7 holes of golf. No problems with that. Do have a problem with obvious disrespect from an owner of a business that we have been customers of since under his management.
Perhaps we were in the wrong heed the pro shop employee's warning. Spring and summer storms are hit or miss; this was our logic. Its not like we were out to get two free holes of golf. Regardless, we walk out the door, not saying anything, but I felt pushed to express my discontent to the owner for being disrespected so blatantly. I half open the door and state to the owner, "That was unbelievably disrespectful, how we were just spoken to. We will not be coming back to give you business." Close door, proceed to car to load golf bags.
Within a minute owner comes out and says something like he was joking with us (bologna), I've know you guys to come here awhile and I was seriously joking with you. Words are exchanged, nothing else vulgar, but we were told to not come back by owner. Thinking to myself, "Fine, I already told you we are not coming back."
And that was how the 2018 golf season was opened for my partner and I. Again, we might have been in the wrong to play in first place, knowing storms were coming in. Just hope anyone who reads this will not be in a similar situation that we were in. read more
