would a letter of apology be wise?
The Ultimate in Humility here...I work at a golf course and while I was heading back to the pro shop after I was done playing..I hit a low tree trunk while waving to another employee. I hit the tree and the cart did a wheelie and bent back the roof arch support on the passenger side and scraped the roof as well. I was so embarrassed. I immediately went to the Director of the golf course and told him what I did. He wasn't mad and thanked me for telling him as I told him I would pay for the damages. He said he would call me back and let me know after a call to the dealer. I know this will cost me several hundred dollars to fix. I am prepared to do so. I just don;t want to lose my job. I am a great reliable employee and am never late and go in everytime on short notice when needed. I wonder if a letter of apology would be appropriate? I just feel so humiliated by the whole thing

Ok so you work for a golf course, a letter of apology would surely go great alongside the fact you have already owned up to the mistake. A letter of apology would only reiterate the fact that your truthfully sorry and that you have taken this to hard. If anything a letter of apology would show your commitment to the business and would probably in the future put you in a better position for a raise or promotion. Also do not worry about it too much as these things happen and most employers are aware that anytime you drive any vehicle there is a risk of injury or damage so I would not think that there would be any punishment or at least it should not be. All golf courses should have their carts insured and you should not be liable for any repairs to the cart anyways. Hope I could help a little and if your interested on finding out how much some of the golf cart parts that got damaged do cost from a dealer you can check my link: https://www.onlinecatalogsystem.net/catalog/LSVCar...

I don't know how things are done in that part of the world, but here, where I am now, going to him, telling him what happened and offering to pay for all the damage is enough. A letter of apology would be redundant.

You have done all you can do and you are now at the stage where least said quickest forgotten so no, don't send a letter or bring it up again.

very sensible idea it would only make you look sincere, and i'm sure as an employer this would be very appreciated.
