City Park to close on Sundays at 1p.m. for "alternative uses."

BREC plans to close City Park Golf Course after 1 p.m. on Sundays from Nov. 29 through Feb. 28 as a trial for alternative uses.
Not opposed to a test, but if it's going to be a test, it should be a valid one.
A few questions:
• What is the objective?
• How will success be measured?
• How will lost rounds and revenue be tracked?
How will seasonal weather conditions be taken into account?
• Why is City Park the only course being tested?
And before anyone cites St. Andrews, remember that when the Old Course closes on Sundays, golfers still have six other St. Andrews courses available to play.
I'm genuinely interested in what metrics golfers think BREC should measure.
What do you think?

Bad idea. Go for answers not provided. Is this really legitimate or is this more smoke and mirrors from the property developer allies in the BREC Commission.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen for a golf course. Prime time for golfers to get out and play 9 or 18 is weekend afternoons. There is too much other land around there that is similar for “alternative uses” to allow a shutdown of the golf course. What a load of garbage.
Added to the St. Andrews argument: They are NEVER TALKING about trying to close or alter St. Andrews. Red Herring argument as a comparison. Shame on BREC!!

Not good news. Just the beginning of “hey let’s close the course for the weekend for a festival” crap that eventually becomes permanent.

So dumb! So much other land available to do these 'events'. Who in BREC is driving this cause?

this is in the name of diversity and making the golf course more available to the communitayyy. Not sure if this was cooked up by the new director or some lower-level employee, but its retarded. If someone wants to have a picnic, go to one of the other 170 properties that aren't specifically dedicated to golf.
at minimum, do it on a day that doesn't impact revenue. I can't imagine a Sunday being a slow day at a golf course.

Low cost public golf courses are the most diverse courses out there. You could argue they have allowed the 90% community access to the game of golf which includes the minorities of BTR
Why are rich white people trying to take BREC city park and limit opportunities in BTR for minorities to learn and play golf.

It was cooked up by BREC Commissioner Wade Evans, who once said he would like to bulldoze the golf course.

• What is the objective? shut down the course
• How will success be measured? how quickly the course gets shut down
• How will lost rounds and revenue be tracked? whatever way allows the consultants to support the desired outcome
How will seasonal weather conditions be taken into account? they won't
• Why is City Park the only course being tested? because they want to shut it down
Shutting a golf course down on Sunday afternoons seems like shutting a pool down on August 1st.
Not good

This has nothing to do with golf or promoting the game itself. They want to offer the course to nontraditional "users" who are looking for a place to have a picnic or let their kids roll down "hills". That's why I said use one of the other parks that isn't a golf course. For some reason, they just seem hellbent on trying to use City Park golf for other reasons than golf. Its unbelievable.
Go use a fricking soccer field for "other uses".

Didn't he just recently lose the City of Central capital outlay money because of his inefficiency?

BREC can’t get things right. It’s a sh*t show over there and this is another example of it.
