I only played seven holes this year but I also heard quite a bit of
grumbling. From my own observations and the general tone of what I heard
there were several problems:
There were 14 golfers in our group and we were sent out as a foursome
and two fivesomes. Then the marshals started to complain about slow
play. I'm sorry, but if you send people out in fivesomes you have no
business complaining that they're falling behind. This one was the
facility's fault and I can't blame people for feeling uncomfortable. I'd
rather not play than have to rush so my wife and I quit (after the
marshal asked me to pick up my ball and move to the next hole just
before I was going to make an eagle putt, which could have been a first
for me.)
It was too hot to make for an enjoyable round. I had serious misgivings
about pushing DLV back to May for exactly this reason and I heard a LOT
of complaining about it. Several people who had planned to play had
bailed for this reason, [truncated]
