点评:We played the Indian Mounds course. The conditions of the greens were horrible. One green on the back nine had no turf, that’s correct no grass. Other greens had no grass on much on the surface just dirt or some type of black tar looking material to putt on. And that was not the worst part. Workers were spraying chemicals on most of the fairways with no regard whatsoever to the golfers. We were engulfed in clouds as the sprayers came within 10 feet of the players blanketing them in a fog of chemicals. I tried to report this to the management but no one was on duty. I called The Enviromental Protection Agency who transferred me to the Georgia Dept. of Agriculture who is sending an agent out to do an investigation and take samples. If anyone reading this had a similar experience you should contact the agent in charge of checking pesticides on Government properties. Under the FOL laws the golf course is required to tell golfers the type of chemicals used. I asked but was not given an answer. Jekyll is an embarrassment to the State of Georgia park system. I have written the Governor asking it be taken away from the Authority and placed back into a normal State Park system system several times. No response there. The main interest is now building more condos in a State Park taxpayers are paying to support. Follow the money. A park pass for Jekyll is about four times that for all the other State parks. Taxpayers are paying paying for millionaires to live here and trying to keep out lower income visitors in my opinion. If you are a tourist you will be charged 10% more at most restaurants is another reason to skip Jekyll on your vacation plans. If the State of Georgia wants to set up a private country club the taxpayers do not need to pay for this.
翻译:我们在印第安丘球场打球。果岭的状况糟透了。后九洞的一个果岭没有草皮,没错,就是没有草。其他果岭上也没有草,表面大多是泥土或某种看起来像黑色焦油的东西,可以用来推杆。但这还不是最糟糕的。工人们在大多数球道上喷洒化学药剂,完全不顾球手的感受。当喷雾器距离球手不到10英尺时,我们被浓雾笼罩。我试图向管理层报告此事,但当时没有人值班。我打电话给环境保护署,他们把我调到了佐治亚州农业部,农业部正在派一名工作人员进行调查并采集样本。如果任何读到这篇文章的人有类似的经历,应该联系负责检查政府财产杀虫剂的工作人员。根据《联邦土地法》,高尔夫球场必须告知球手使用的化学药剂种类。我询问了,但没有得到答复。杰基尔是佐治亚州公园系统的耻辱。我曾多次致信州长,要求将其从管理局手中收回,并归入正常的州立公园系统。但州长没有回应。现在主要的兴趣是在纳税人出钱支持的州立公园里建造更多公寓。跟着钱走吧。杰基尔公园的门票价格大约是其他所有州立公园的四倍。在我看来,纳税人出钱养活百万富翁,却试图将低收入游客拒之门外。如果你是游客,大多数餐厅会多收10%的费用,这也是你度假计划中不去杰基尔公园的另一个原因。如果佐治亚州想建立一个私人乡村俱乐部,纳税人无需为此买单。
