Yesterday I went to the golf course at about 1:00. There was the Wednesday scramble that I forgot about that started at 1:30. The pro shop wouldn't let me tee off at 1:10, and no body teed off in the scramble until 1:30. I think it had something to do with me being a junior with a friend and his brother. So at they pro shop they say we can tee off at 2:20. Luckily, the guy I take lessons from is in there and he gives me some range balls for free. So I come back at 2:20 and they say they're not taking any more walk-ons. I can't complain too much because I got free range balls, but why not anymore walk ons. I can see the 1-4 holes from near the pro-shop, and there was no one on them! But why not let me off? Once again it has something to do with me being a junior.


Also, what makes me even madder is that a kid who is a year older than me teed off because his brother works in the pro-shop!

That's just not right man, sorry to hear that they're that way with you...it *****.

This time of the year you would think any course would go out of their way to put people on their course. Sure **** that they didn't tell you that at 1:10. You could have gone to a course that appreciated your business.

What they fail to realize is today's Jr players are tomorrows members. These courses treat you (jr's) like second class citizens today and they will find another place to become members when they become adults.

It boggles my mind the way the people in clubhouses think they can treat younger players.

They basically lied to you by saying you can tee off at 2:20, and then when you came back, saying you could not play. You may want to go back with your parents, and ask them to talk to the head pro about what happened, so it doesn't happen anymore.

The clubhouse guys are always ***** the first time we go to the course, but we started going more often and they are cool now...

my money is as good as anyones

I would talk to the manager so he/she can be aware of the service the employees are providing.

Actually, the guy I talked to in the beginning was different than the guy later in the day. Before I went out and hit range balls, the guy said don't pay now in case we can't get you off. But when I talked to another guy, he said I could get off at 2:20 maybe 2:30. Partially my fault on trusting the guy who said 2:20, but I still don't see why no more walk-ons when the course was wide open.
