Thanks Joe, here are a few:

1/ COPE:  If the course is re-purposed, the association membership had better see a significant reduction in the annual assessment.  Otherwise, all you'll hear from the 'keepers' is "we lost a great golf amenity and got nothing for it."  A while back I mentioned, on the Forum, that a 18-hole chip and putt might be a good investment considering OPA youth, family activities, seniors et al.  The land is there and the thought is that perhaps a golf course consultant could produce a re-design using as much of the current course geometry as possible. 

2/ Geese:  I recall hearing about a solution that does not require relocating or killing existing geese.  It seems there's a process that involves rendering the eggs in the nest useless.  There's an instrument they use to penetrate the egg (needle-size egg beater) that stirs the yolk.  The goose is unaware that the egg is lifeless and will continue to fulfill its parental duties... sounds a bit expensive and time-consuming, but it might be something the Board could look in to.

Thanks,

Bob
