From the moment we checked in, the pro shop older man was incredibly rude. I’m a veteran and former D1 college golfer. I’m also an Asian female. I asked if they offered a veteran discount. The man said, “Only if you are retired or are a disabled vet.” Ok…I couldn’t help but feel like he thought I was lying about being in the military and said I could show him my DD214. He said, “you could’ve only been in the military for a year and get one of those!” I pointed out that one would still be a veteran as DD214 are only issued to former military members. The guy also told us, TWICE, that we had to abide by the 90 degree rule. He explained it to us like we are idiots.
After shooting an 80we we were dropping our clubs off at the cart. The same rude man came over and accused us of disobeying the 90 degree rule and said we were driving straight down the fairway. I told him that we weren’t even in the fairway until we got near the green. He then said that we drove within 10 yards of the green but both of our approach shots were 60 yards away. He said behavior like ours could get us kicked off the course.
We also found out that they gave another veteran a military discount with no questions asked. I’m not a complainer but it’s hard not to feel as though I was singled out for being Asian or a woman. That guy should be ashamed of himself and Eagles Pride should find new pro shop staff.
