I just still don't buy the whole idea that this is going to be a big money making operation and will be hosting major tourneys.
I don't have a problem with putting a golf course back there in theory, but I hope the bean counters have thought this through.

I love everything else City Park has done since Katrina. Everytime they add something it has been a welcome addition.

Since Katrina until the fences went up I have gone running where the new course is being built several times a week in the morning. I also drive by it several times a day. There are VERY few people who use that area of the park for walking, meditation, running or anything else. I rarely see anyone else there. I will miss the space too. But I value City Park as a whole more. CP needs the revenue from this golf course. It gets very little if anything from the state or city. Before Katrina the golf courses made up a huge chunk of its operating budget, even without big tournaments. I bet none of these protesters have ever donated a nickle to CP. They need to get over it. Plus, they can still use the area between Pan Am Stadium and Harrison as a walking path. It's quite nice.
