City golf courses are so staffed by hip people who understand smart phones

Jacquelyn Goddard at the Boston Parks and Recreation Department says whoever complained about being forced to print out a coupon to get a discount at the William Devine Golf Course is wrong:

The City of Boston does accept "smart phone" coupons. The coupon for the golf course discount says the coupon "must be presented" and this means we allow golfers to show us the coupon on their phone and that we do not insist the coupon be printed. So, the City of Boston is paperless and that can be an option for golfers.

Citizen complaint of the day: Stop staffing golf courses with fuddy-duddies

By adamg - 4/12/12 - 9:03 am

A puttering citizen complains that he was forced to print out a coupon to get a discount on a round of golf at the Franklin Park course:

Boston Parks and Recreation requires golfers to print out coupons and physically bring them to the course to receive a discount. In this day and age, mister mayor, can you please force them to "GO GREEN" and allow people to present coupons via their smartphone? A lot of people, especially the young professionals you want to keep from moving away, don't own printers.
