1. c.  We do not offer grass turf for our practice range as everyone must hit from the mats.

18. Why are you a “mats only” practice range?

1. a.  Due to safety being our number one priority, we needed to move the hitting area back as too many golf balls were landing on hole #3 of the Lake course placing our golfers in danger.

1. b.  Each year we purchase new practice balls and each year thousands and thousands of said practice balls are hit into the ditch and trees to the left or right. Moving back to mats has reduced the number of lost practice balls thus reducing staff hours and stress.

1. c.  With the increase demand for our practice facility, we found that turfgrass management became stressful and time consuming. Eliminating the grass on the practice facility has allowed for improved practices on the actual golf course.

19. Why do you not have water coolers on the golf course?

1. a.  The removal of water coolers from the golf course stems from growing concerns about sanitation and the potential for legal issues related to contamination.
   1. Contamination Risks: Water coolers can become breeding grounds for bacteria and other pathogens if not properly maintained. With multiple people using them throughout the day, the risk of contamination increases significantly.
   2. Maintenance Challenges: Regular cleaning and sanitization of water coolers are essential to ensure they remain safe for use. However, maintaining this level of hygiene can be challenging, especially in outdoor environments exposed to various elements.
   3. Health Risks: If a golfer were to become ill from contaminated water, the golf course could be held liable. Even if the cause of the illness is not directly linked to the water coolers, the perception of risk can lead to legal challenges.
   4. Lawsuits: Providing water coolers, despite the good intention, opens up the possibility of being sued if contamination occurs and someone gets sick.
   5. Alternative Solutions:
   6. Getting a cooler from the bar before going out on the course.
   7. Personal water bottles.
   8. Beverage carts on the course.
