Comments on: Fee increases at Greenwich golf course after year in the rough http://blog.ctnews.com/lincolnmillstein/2009/12/07/fee-increases-at-greenwich-golf-course-after-year-in-the-rough/ Lincoln Millstein offers his unique views and insight on Greenwich and its community Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:41:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Weekend golfer http://blog.ctnews.com/lincolnmillstein/2009/12/07/fee-increases-at-greenwich-golf-course-after-year-in-the-rough/#comment-667 Weekend golfer Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:08:07 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/lincolnmillstein/?p=936#comment-667 The rain in June was a big problem for the course putting them in the red (2,000 rounds x $25 = $50K almost all of the $55K shortfall). Overall I think the grounds crew does an excellent job. I agree this year the course didn't look as good as it has in past years, but this is not always there fault. Part may be due to blight or plant disease and a lot of it is the golfers fault in not replacing divots, particularly on 13 and 14, and not repairing ball marks on the greens both of which seemed to be much worse this year. I agree with an increase in fees especially since we will be getting a new club house next year.
