| Question: | "I live about 30 feet from a golf course. At approximately 6:10 a.m. each morning the mower cuts the grass just outside my bedroom window and I hear a number of other pieces of loud equipment being operated. What can golf courses do to be more neighbor-friendly?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Unfortunately, the answer to your question concerning early morning disruptions is not an easy one. The maintenance crew must complete their morning tasks before golfers arrive, so that means they must start as soon as it is light enough to see. There are a few options that can help: If only a few homes are affected, sometimes the grounds crew can wait until the end of their 2-hour morning rush to work in that area; some of the noise-producing work may be done the evening before; identify the machinery causing the majoring [majority] of the noise (e.g. blowers) and use these tools after 9:00 a.m.; or a growing number of courses are using battery-powered, low-noise-producing machinery for early morning work. Discuss your concerns with the golf course superintendent and ask if one or more of these options could be implemented." |
