The machine made gurgling noises like it was running out of balls. The green light was on which meant it was working. Instead of waiting around I took a photo while tip toed of the open top and saw, yep, it’s okay, the machine won’t waste my token. Can’t tell you how many times this machine spit out nothing. It still made gurgling noises so I guess it’s tired.

I always check to see if the machine will ride a mountain bike on a steep trail without a helmet, or if it will sky-dive without a parachute check.  Then I know the machine has balls.

Otherwise, the machine I use is right outside our pro shop.  So you can quickly go inside and get help.

On Memorial Day Weekend? In a popular course with 5 groups waiting to tee off? 
 

No. Thank. You.
