Your right, I wouldn't, because I do my own landscaping. People need to get off their lazy butts, and do it themselves.

Simply use a Scythe to cut your grass and you will combine the two functions into one and save money on golf equipment and course fees. Just don't practice with golf balls or you may literally hear yourself saying "I think I sliced that one a little to the left"...

... which prevents the owner from keeping the amount of clients or making enough revenue to pay them what they demand...

But we know the real reason it's not unionized is because they can't hide from that kind of hard labor all day everyday anyway.

If US laws were upheld then only the rich would be able to afford landscapers.

My husband's with you on this except he does not play golf. he'd rather enjoy riding his motorcycle or do other things, Plus having a bad back does not help. I am glad someone else cuts my lawn.
