I never suggested those who buy golf memberships are the bad guys. Far from it; they are the good guys.

The problem is there are not enough good guys who want to buy memberships or pay to play on the OPA course. A local restaurant just closed the doors for good. The owner said it was because every day he was open, he was losing money. He did not berate his customers. He simply did not have enough customers, whatever the reason.

Yes, of course HOA owners must pay the assessment. That is not the issue. The issue is whether or not the golf amenity should be dumped and replaced with a park amenity.

Any board can vote to close down the golf course and make it a park. Any four board members. It might also be something that can be accomplished by a vote of the entire membership.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with whether association members have to pay their assessment or not. I have no idea why you brought that up, other than to create a strawman.

I'm sure you see others as the vocal minority, but even if you are correct, those others are not costing association members $10 million

I see no particular group as a minority or a majority. I have absolutely no idea how many people agree or disagree on any issue.  As for golf costing $10 million of assessment dollars over a 10 year period, that is absolutely provable. Just for a bare starting point... the golf drainage project was estimated to cost $5 million back around 2005. It is about half done and will cost much more than initially estimated. Under Casper alone we probably lost about $1 million on operations. Every year about $450,000 is in the assessment just to cover golf depreciation.

Golf is OPA's money sewer to end all money sewers. You or other may not wish to admit it, but all it takes is a careful look at the money OPA spends on golf, including operational losses, and capital expenses paid by all association members.
