I love the officials blowing whistles, like that’s gonna stop the brawl. It’s not a play, and no one out there cares about the penalties.

Dump….yes
Wasted space…..possibly

Doesn’t turn a profit?…..let’s see….

City Park 26,000 rounds last year at what….$20-$30/round. So possibly $700,000 in revenue. Plus what is ear marked in tax money for its budget.

You’re right that it’s wasted. But it’s a money maker.

Kimmel should feel fortunate. What he said (or didn’t say) only cost him his job…..not his life.

If people are paying it, then that’s the fee. Demand will sort everything out.
But it does cost a pretty penny to keep courses in great condition.

It seems like year 2 of whatever QB we have is when it comes together….so it doesn’t matter.

Why would anyone walk 18 holes in Louisiana heat from June to September? Is it really enjoyable? October to May is a nice walk. The summer is a nice ride.

I’d say he can take it easy for life.

This is a gross misunderstanding of how punishment works. In its most simple form, punishment seeks to make the victims whole again and punish the criminal by making them give up a large piece of money or property.

In terms of a corporation or organization, the orgainzation is a legal entity that must cover their debts. It doesn't matter if the CEO or criminals within the organization are gone. You can argue with me all day long, our laws do not recognize the departure of criminal employees as reason to let the entire organization off the hook. That is pure fantasy.

Our laws also recognize that you can make an example of a criminal or an organization responsible for criminals in order to deter other criminals or corrupt organizations. This is important.



…..so what you’re talking about is reparations?

Someone told me this once and I can’t get it out of my head… it’s Howell Park with CCL’s conditions.


They were close. It’s actually Webb with money. Conditions are impeccable (better than CCL), but BRCC and Webb are basically the same track. The same drainage ditch runs through both of them. Just one is covered.

I’m completely serious. If you think the Bermuda is popping from October to May, then you’ve never worked a golf a day in your life. The growing season for Celebration might be a little over 4 months. For Mini Verde, in Denham, you won’t get 4 months.
Look at your phone for this weeks forecast. Great golfing weather, but it ain’t doing shite for the grass.

Now…..
Golf is a money pit. Always will be.if you’re not being funded by taxes (RTJ Trail) or private members with money to burn (BRCC) or an owner that loses money each year (Squire Creek), then you are going to struggle.
Every destination course has some sort of bank roll keeping it afloat.
Golf is a tough business for everyone but the golfer.

Greystone is closed every Monday? Or every Monday there isn’t a tournament?

30K is a 100 golfers a day, resting one day a week. It’s a very long race where improvements are gradual and mostly permanent. As the conditions improve, the price goes up. Again, it’s slow and gradual and something is going to have to offset the cost. Sucks, but that’s the business.
