re: Olde Oakes course

This will never happen. Ji, the owner, does his best to never spend money and just keep that course in horrible condition. I play mainly at Stonebridge and we’ve been complaining for a while about a bunch of stuff. He purchased new carts last year and thought that was good enough. He’s an extreme tight wad that will NEVER spend the money to address actual issues of the courses or clubhouses. Just puts a bandaid on it and calls it good.

He is super cheap for sure. The head pro at Stonebridge also cuts grass out at olde Oaks because he won't hire enough people. David Martinez told me tried to get him to let him basically build moguls on most of the bunkers on Cypress. Since that would cut down on maintenance/wasting time just trying to keep bunkers in halfway decent shape and let him put that time into green maintenance. Nope. Doesn't take the advice of the head golf pro who also moonlights as the greenskeeper. The bunkers are awful, they needed to let those go a long time ago.

Going to message Reed about a few things. This is good news, at least the owner is making hires. He's making the money for sure, he just only wants to spend it on Stonebridge.
