Liu Ming-tseng, who farms along the river beneath the Laoyeh Golf and Country Club, says that after people go to the golf course to work, many don't want to get on their employer's bad side and won't be as open in talking about its effects. People who do business with the golf courses, such as those who own gravel pits, likewise shy away from discussing their impact on local people.
不過農地在老爺球場河谷下的劉明增說，許多人到球場去上班後，就不敢得罪球場，不像以前還會討論球場帶來的影響。做球場生意的人，比如賣砂石的商人也會說球場對當地沒什麼影響。
