My wife and I just had a really bad experience at Stonebridge today. The cart rule is drive in the rough and on #6 Janice hit her drive near the fairway bunker. She has a mobility problem and was hurting from walking most of #5 so I crossed the fairway to get her closer to her ball. In the group ahead was an off duty Marshall who complained to the Marshall that we were driving "all over the course". When I explained the situation he said that she should not be playing until she can drive on the fairway and told us we had to leave the course. We were so upset. I went to the pro Shop and explained the situation and they sided with the Marshall. Then, they would only give us a 9 hole rain check! We are really upset, even hours after the event.
Marshalling at Stonebridge GC has been sketchy for a long time, but they are responsible for the reputation of the course. In my humble opinion, they deserve the financial difficulties they are experiencing. There is no doubt Mattamy Homes is going to plough it over and replace it with homes- too bad, and the only one responsible is the club pro. He sets the tone for how the club operates. Empowering a Marshall to tell a player with a mobility disability to leave the course is completely offside.
