Governments do NOT belong in the golf business. City courses supposedly came into being to provide access to the sport when it was still for "country clubbers" only. That rationale is LONG over. My husband is in the golf development business; it is a bitter pill to swallow that private builders and businesses are in direct competition with city and country governments. It is nearly impossible to compete, the playing field is not equal in consideration of taxes, equipment and resources, zoning allowances etc. We shake our heads in wonder that citizens are willing to let their tax dollars pay for these things. H*ll, why not use tax dollars to build bowling alleys?
