Golf Technical Problems
Problem Analysis Report
Technical Problems Related to Golf Course, Cross Creek
Sports and games, whether outdoors and indoors, need a good sense of construction and organized planning in order to minimize technical problems and to maximize the benefits of the play. Golf is an outdoor sport that innumerable people like to play and take it either as a constructive and healthy pastime or indulge in the activity to keep them active and energetic round the clock yet while others observe it as a source of interaction and socialization with the people around. Keeping in mind the benefits and personal satisfaction that people extract from this outdoor activity, Cross Creek where I work has a golf course too with me as an avid player. However, recently many of us have observed some major technical problems thereby getting complaints from many of the players around. The purpose of this report is therefore to list down all the technical problems, the possible repercussions of the problems at hand if they are not solved on timely basis and to present some pragmatic recommendations or suggestions. Following are some of the problems observed in the golf course, Cross Creek:
The course doesn't drain
Poor turf and trees
The radical pitch in the green
Weak bunker positioning
Conventional, problematic tee complexes
Problem #1: The Course Does Not Drain
The golf course, Cross Creek does not drain as it should and with what pace it should. There are water-holding pockets the whole year that preclude a smooth game and frustrate players by producing poor quality conditions to play golf. This enormous technical problem is further aggravated by the poorly maintained and managed irrigation system thereby giving rise to another technical problem.
Problem #2: Poor Turf and Trees
Apart from the poor drainage system, the golf course has a bad irrigation system that heightens the problem and leads to poor turf and trees thereby posing several other related technical problems and compelling the players to complain.
Problem#3: Radical Pitch in the Green
The pitching of the greens appears extreme. All the greens are pitched from four to five percent from back to front thereby paving way for another technical problem. The players with the option of few pin positions with the greens have to run after the ball if and when they miss it over a lengthy, stretched out gradient of the course.
Problem#4: Weak Position of the Bunker
The cookie-cutter shaped bunkering of the golf course is quite simple in its architectural pattern thereby reflecting absolute lack of aesthetics. As long as the plain archaic construction of the bunkering does not become an obstacle in the way of the golf player, who would mind? But in actuality, looking from the technical view point, this construction has left many weak areas in the bunker positioning thereby rendering it flimsy at some essential points.
Problem# 5: Problematic Tee Complexes
The tee complexes in the golf course run diagonal "to the line of play" because of the way they are structured, conventional and not so classic. With this structure, the player remains unable to aim for a suitable target thereby making the game rather dragging and unnecessarily challenging.
Consequences of the Problems:
Due to problem number one, players are agitated not to find the right quality or good condition of the golf course. Thus, because of poor drainage or no drainage, poor playing conditions prevail thereby compelling many players to now look for better alternatives.
Poor irrigation system has worsened the situation resulting in poor turf and trees thereby further hindering the joy and the smoothness of the game.
The radical pitch in the greens leaves almost all players, missing their targets, panting while chasing the ball from one end of the course to the other thereby wasting time as well as energy that is precious to every human.
The strength of the bunker plays a vital role in determining the game. If the bunker is weak from several or any place, it will not be able to firmly trap the golf ball thereby creating further problems for the players. Thus, bunker positioning need to be strengthened as soon as possible.
