Last week was a BRUTALLY hot one here. I decided to go out for golf on what was probably one of the hottest days. I walk 9 holes three days a week. I am a student member, and the membership covers greens fees only (cart fee is $12 and tax). As a college student, money is tight, and that is why I walk.

As I walked in the pro shop that day, they knew I was heading out walking. They made sure to let me know to call them if I got too hot and needed to be picked up. I said I would be fine and headed out to #10. As I am walking up to the #15 green, I see the maintenance guy driving towards me.

Turns out they sent him out there to drive me for the remainder of my nine. I thought this was a pretty nice gesture. While it was unexpected, I won't say it was completely unwarranted. The HI was ~110 that day with temperatures floating around 100. Anyone elses course made a nice gesture like this?

Kinda. I know the workers at the club house, seeing that one was a Varsity golfer with me and the other one practically act as my older brother. Anytime Im out on the course, esp. in the Hi 100 in Ohio at times, Ill all them and they run me out a Gatorade, Coke, etc. Its very nice, and they get a reason to get away from the clubhouse (Only 100 members, and 10 golf). Thought this was close enough?

That's a great gesture.

In the summer heat, it's hard not to take a cart, especially on courses where elevation shifts from one extreme to the next. I just can't stand paying the outrageous cart fees anymore. These courses are making plenty of money as it is, yet they charge so much for cart rentals.

There is a starter that I usually have some small talk with whenever I play at one of the local munis. I went out walking one afternoon recently and it was a little over 100 and as humid as ever, I was the only person on the course and he came around at least 4 times to let me get a few drinks of water out of his cooler, which I thought was pretty cool considering he could have just gone home.

Lucky you. At my home course if I go out trying to get in a quick 9 with a storm coming in a little while, they just say "Don't get yourself killed". Haha, so you're very lucky.

I am not hating on you but face it - you live in Mass - home of the rudest people in the world. New York City could teach a lot of people up there about manners.

The best view of Massachusetts is the one in your rear view mirror.

My whole family golfs all the time at my local course and they all know us so almost everytime i go out they dont charge me.

I went and got 2 large buckets(for me, my girlfriend, and my sister) and she gave them to me for free.

I walk all the time and they rarely charge me. It's pretty nice and they are all super nice.

I wish, today me and my buddy were playing 18, and usually the person behind the desk will just give us a cart because we look 16 were really 15. Today it was so hot and humid, and some old lady working behind the desk wouldn't let us take a cart. I don't get why she wouldn't let us take they cart. First you how much damage can you cause with a golf cart. Second they are so easy to drive. Well sorry to rant a little bit, but I still shot an 81 so thats good a lest.

I've become friendly with some of the guys in the clubhouse (Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course) and they're generally nice to me - sometimes fitting me in for the twilight rate a little early, etc. Vannie also has some long cross-overs from hole to hole and at times (if timed right) they'll give me a ride :)

Lucky you, I'm 17 and at my local course you have to be 18 to get a cart
