Here’s my policy, laugh at it all you will but I think it’s fair. If it is a privately owned course then I will not bring drinks, I will buy from the clubhouse to support them. If it is a municipal track? The city gets enough of my money, I’ll bring as much beer as I can stuff in my cooler.

I play a course locally frequently. They don't provide coolers, and there isn't a chick circulating the course during the week. I break the rules and take my own beer. They have one cart girl that is not pleasant to look at and she's got a bitchy attitude. So I won't buy from her. On weekends (and Friday) I'll take my cooler with a couple of spares, and buy from the cart girl when she comes around. They don't circulate often enough for my hydration needs most of the time.
I generally don't start drinking until my score is beyond breaking 80. Some days that's hole 3, some days hole 17. But by god, I generally have a beer at some point in the round.

Well if you want to get technical, in most states it is illegal to bring alcohol into a place of business that is permitted to sell it. This has to do with alcohol control and liability. So it isn't really a philosophical argument, it's a legal one.
As for the OP, you can't complain about someone enforcing a rule on their property. I doubt if someone walked into your house and did something you asked them not to do you would consider yourself the a-hole for asking them not to do it.
Your green fees pay for a round of golf, not course autonomy. There seems to be a problem with the younger generation of golfers understanding the difference.
I am not that much older than you, and didn't grow up in a country club. I just understand golf is a game built about being courteous and respectful while also allowing you to have a good time.

I don’t, but I do keep a bottle of water in bag at all times.

I don't understand why golf courses even frick with alcohol. Just charge each individual that has a cooler $10.00, $20.00 per cart if there's two. I know not everybody drinks alcohol playing golf, but what an easy way to make money and not have to frick with the hassle of selling it, cart girl, bartender, license and what not. If four golfers went off every ten minutes, that would be 24 players an hour and lets say there are 8 hours of golf on average a day, that's 144 golfers. If half brought their own coolers, 72, thats $720.00 pure fricking profit without the overhead. Hell I would pay $20.00 to bring mine. That's pretty much a sixer with a tip to the cart bitch, and I drink way more than a sixer while playing golf. If you average 200 days of golf a year, boom, $144,000.00 a year with no alcohol overhead except the sorry arse pro taking your money when you check in.

It’s hilarious you think courses only make $20 per person via food and drink sales. It’s also hilarious you think raising greens fees by $20 is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist.

That's not how it works.

Because nobody’s ever tried it! Add up the payroll, workers comp, liability insurance, cost of goods, licensing to the state and parish and get back to me. I’m in agreement that your high end clubs with food and drink use or lose tabs would not benefit, but small clubs and munis would be better off imo. Have all the cooler bringers sign a waiver if they get hurt because they drink it’s on them.

What’s to stop people from cheating that system as well? Who’s going to enforce it now that you’ve let go of most of the staff from this muni which probably doesn’t have marshals? How long before regulars stop coming because they don’t have a bar or cart girl or real food?

I don't go to a golf course for food, drinks, beer cart bitch. I go for the fricking golf, not the amenities.
Posted on 5/11/22 at 9:48 pm to VernonPLSUfan
You won’t have any golf to play (at least not on a half decent course) if those places implemented your plan and got rid of those extras that so many people expect and what helps pay most of the bills. 
Posted on 5/11/22 at 9:58 pm to ell_13
I've played several courses and lots of times there isn't any cart girl's or the bar is closed because of the lack of play in some instances. How much money are they making then? What's a half decent course by the way? Is it one with a pro? Is it one with tiff dwarf Bermuda? Half decent? WTF!

In Ohio it is a violation of state law to bring your own beer to the course. However only the biggest douches enforce it unless you show up with a Yeti 65. I bought one of these from Stich which i normally use to take Ipad and launch monitor when I give my kid lessons. however it is a cooler as well. Never had anyone question it as a cooler. They are pricey but got mine on a 30% off sale which they run a few times a year.

So you want a world where golf is run like BREC but with no alcohol sales. Yikes.

BREC could make a ton more money with a marshall that was stringent on outside beverages and with a cart girl.
Posted on 5/12/22 at 7:28 am to VernonPLSUfan
I think a lot of people are missing the point. OP came here to bitch about a Marshall not letting him bring beer on the course. The rule is he can’t and the Marshall enforced that rule. He will probably break that rule at other courses and not get caught. Most of us have. Including myself. The thing no one cares about is him bitching about a golf course enforcing a rule. He just sounds like a bitch when he complains about it. Get over it.
