Club Damage - Needs immediate repair!

Whoever drove over the caution tape and tore up the front yard needs to get this fixed now, while the yard is still soft. This kind of damage is unacceptable! There are rules for expulsion in our by-laws about causing damage to the club.  Remember that the yard is very soft this time of year, as it always is, and to refrain from driving on the grass till after it drys up.
thanks,
hammy
