On Sunday the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship came to a close. The entire week would not be possible without the support of our Officers and Firefighters.
But beyond the "unknown medical" response at Hole 17 calls for Charlotte Fire (happy to assist) and a few "NO YOU CAN'T" directional answers (hat tip for the back up) it was a non-event. Let's keep it that way.
However, I need to give some serious props to the dozens of CMPD "boots on the ground" that I interacted with during the week.
Traffic - absolutely awesome job. Both at the clubhouse and Gleneagles and Quail Hollow. I've done traffic and its not something I enjoy but CMPD made it look effortless. Special mention to Officers working the clubhouse pedestrian crosswalk and the kindness I observed a number of times dealing with slow moving seniors and parents with toddlers.
Clubhouse Security - smooth and efficient every member I spoke to was impressed.
Quail Hollow is a "Good Walk Spoiled" and 18 holes as a Marquee Group Escort isn't a walk in the park. Solid effort made in the dual role of both player security and at the same time public relations. Fist bump with a ten year old while staying focused on the mission yeah I noticed.
Bike Patrol - nothing but good things here. Public perception awesome and the under 12 perception SUPER COOL! Special mention to Humphries and Sgt Ward. Bravo Zulu!
Next Year let's do it again!

So happy to see the yuppies at QH got a nice weekend. We have real problems to manage around here.
ReplyDeleteFantastic weekend for golf in Charlotte - next another Wells Fargo then a month later the US Open in Pinehurst then in 2025 the PGA Championship returns to Quail Hollow - yes white people problems!
ReplyDeleteI want to be on airport long term parking patrol. Safest place in the county, and plenty of time to play on my phone.
ReplyDeleteYou have no honor or valor
DeleteCan someone explain what happened to Brad Koch's hair? Was this some prank someone pulled on him? Has he joined a circus somewhere? Is he "trans"stioning? Seriously WTF?
ReplyDeleteStop making fun of me.It’s my life and I have choice what I do with it, jealous haters.🌈
DeleteDoesn't anyone find it odd that few black ppl go to these golf tournaments? Unless they are working for show pros?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone find it odd that very few white people go to the United House of Prayer? Unless the police get called in for a CFS?
DeleteI'd say less than 5% of those in attendance were African American. Which is about what we see at a NASCAR event. But look at the NBA most those in attendance are white. Same with Panthers games.
DeleteStill the best drive ever at the Wells Fargo Championship was the guy who stole Chief Monroe's golf cart during the 3rd round and drove it all the way to the Selwyn Pub!
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone in the average public understands what it takes to put on an event like the tournament. There is a LOT of effort behind the scenes that makes it happen and I'm glad you recognized it. The ones you pointed out are just the folks you saw. There are a mess of them you don't that make sure the wheels turn. Overall it is a great event that showcases Charlotte and puts us in a positive national spotlight. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe vast majority of the cops at this event are 8-4 M-F dopes at the office. Many are CC or SRO that want some extra cash. Please to do not compliment our coworkers that run home before the action even starts or can’t show up on Saturdays because of schedule complications. The hornets games are the same way. Thank god nothing actually happens at these events.
ReplyDeleteOh, they settled the Pledge Fund Ponzi scheme. So that’s a non-issue now. What next?
ReplyDeleteI’ glad CMPD and CFD were able to pull it off and make it a success. How many years have they had to practice?
ReplyDeleteI’m the general public you speak of and I found every officer working out there to be very nice except some major named Koch who sat in his golf cart at 15 green in the shade scrolling his iPad and would not even look up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pos
Koch works out with the recruits. You a fatty daddy.
