professor should there not be a discount on price ..... Obviously, I believe there should be such a courtesy rendered.
Following that same theory, do you also believe there should be a larger (or smaller) discount if they use "old fashioned" tine aeration vs needle aeration?
If they simply sanded the greens?
Do you then believe that there should be a sliding scale of discounts for the days and weeks following?
Could it also not be argued that a similar warning or discount could/should be applied if there was a reason that your favorite course was not groomed to your expectations for whatever reason prior to your tee time? Such as ; too wet the night before. Early rain in the morning. Mower malfunction. Employee(s) not making it in?
