Prince William Golf Course is a jewel in Northern Virginia. I have been playing there for over 40 years. Dan and Tracy make the check-in fast and enjoyable. However, I must complain about the incident that happened on September 8th 2022. I was playing with my usual group as I do almost every week. After our round of golf I returned to my car to unload my clubs and found that a tractor was parked behind my car and 3 other cars in our lane. I was able to pull forward over a parking barrier and able to exit my parking space. Just as I was driving away a man came running down and asked if I had removed the parking cone that was put where I had parked. I told him that I had not and then he tells me I am a liar. He didn’t say I think you are liar, he said “you are a liar buddy”. Now he didn’t explain how I was the one that removed the cone or out of the 14 cars in this parking lane I was the one to blame for removed the cone. Now I don’t know who this guy was or who his work release supervisor is, he just decided I was a liar. I can only believe that at my age of 76 he found someone he could bully. I have e-mailed the golf course with my complaint and have not received a reply, which is a little disturbing. I am now writing wherever I feel it will do the most good. I plan to play this golf course hopefully for another 5 years, but I won’t forget the slight I received. If this gentleman wants to call me a liar I guess there is nothing I can do about it now. I just hope this guy gets terminal jock itch.
