re: Sasaki Design for City-Brooks Park is anti-golf

After they shrink or eliminate golf at city park I think Sasaki will have a plan for Webb reducing it to 9 holes and converting the other space for “community”.
Brec and Sasaki have so far turned 27 holes into 9 (Dumas and Clark). Would you really be surprised to see the 27 of Webb and City become 9 holes at Webb only. I wouldn’t.

Yes, shrinking Webb would fit the pattern we’ve watched for five years. And let’s be honest: the holes east of College Drive are the kind of “flexible acreage” consultants love to convert into general-purpose park space. And Baton Rouge would not have a single 18-hole golf course.

City Park is almost 100 years old and was designed by the Johnny Appleseed of American golf. It’s a big part of American sports history. I do not understand why it’s not a National Historic Landmark where it cannot be touched.

City Park is on the National Register of Historic Places--among the first if not the first municipal course to be placed on the register, but that does not mean it "cannot be touched." It is a common supposition that properties on the register cannot be altered, but that is not the case.
If it is significantly altered, the way Sasaki proposes, the course will likely come off the register.

Can a group be organized to file a lawsuit to prevent any changes to the golf course? Is there enough interest in that?

This whole thing is a shame. It’s really soured me on some prominent people and organizations in this city that I thought were solid and positive for the future of BR.
