Section 5: OPA Board Subject: COPE Golf Petition? Msg# 879520

A friend of mine who is a serious golfer said a Robert Trent Jones course built 40 years ago in what he describes as the "dark ages" of course design would by nature be a difficult course for older players. He cited that most greens are trapped on the front and both sides so the golfer must "fly" his or her approach shot into the green and for older golfers that can be difficult.
Maybe we should convert it to a public course with tee times on a first come first serve basis and advertise it to the package players as a "challenging" layout, post the par and slope (isn't that how the difficulty of a course is rated?) and see what happens? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If you have to pay taxes on land that isn't producing revenue, it is a liability, I don't know if we pay property tax, do you? and btw, I said operating a golf golf course at a loss is a liability I didn't say owning the land was a liability. there would be no problem if all those who place great value on it spent their golfing dollars in OP rather than other courses in the area Have you got any data to support that statement? and btw, I am a member so I am holy and above reproach. And it seems to me that if the course were a good investment for golf, there would be interested buyers, so put it on the market and see what the response is. Maybe we could turn it into an asset for HOA members and use the revenue to continue operations or build a new Yacht Club or even give a bonus to the GM |
