Complaint about the rough. Over the last 30 years, there has been numerous complaints about the rough, even when we had eighteen holes there was a avalanche of complaints to then Course Curator, Bob McGowan. The rough hasn’t changed , thicker in the summer and less severe in the winter. The rough is what it is and no amount of complaints will change it. The Match Committee will certainly liaise with Roger Scott if the complaint deems genuine, but will get the same answer. Roger has a lot on his plate, trying to keep the course mowed etc, with the amount of staff he has. Renovating the greens takes time as you all know. I for one take the rough as it is, and I have played a different lot of golf courses in my time as I’m sure everyone has. There is always some hazards like trees, long grass, pine cones, water, deep sand bunkers etc to upset the golfer.
