Crass column?
In my opinion, Pat Jones’ column in your February 2009 issue (“Here’s your sign,” page 74) did a disservice to your publication. I felt his crass attempt at humor was more appropriate to a barroom discussion with the eight or nine guys who can always be found at the hotel bar during educational sessions at the GCSAA Conference. Pat may still be able to find these guys at the bar, and if he does, they will have a great conversation. As for the rest of us, we professionals have long since surpassed Pat Jones and his lame attempts at humor.

A round of thanks
Thanks to Marisa Palmieri for mentioning Rounds4Research.com in an article in the February issue of GCI (“Taking research for granted?” page 6). The positive message regarding our program was well received and actually helped increase Web traffic. Many thanks.

Well done
Saw your article on Barona Creek Golf Club and their admirable work in water and energy savings, and other environmental benefits (“Scaling back,” page 30, March issue). Very well composed story. You really do have superior layout, photography and writing than other comparable magazines. Keep up the good work!
