I’d take just one for my Dodgers!

That guy is a freaking stud! I watched him in college and thought the same thing. But there is just no way you can expect him come into the show and be just as dominant. but he has I just hope he can stay healthy (like most pitchers in the game today)

Seems to be an age old problem with public courses that sell “memberships”. Where membership really means pass. I think Western Racing said the same thing earlier. It just means no or discounted green fees, and in some places the ability to earlier access to tee times. It’s truly NOT a membership. And when you buy that pass, it should have the caveat that those “unlimited” tee times are subject to availability. But I think most people realize that. I really believe it’s the same almost everywhere, especially courses run by city governments. They love to take in that early pass money (big cash infusion at the first of the year when many courses are still under snow). At our course, they typically sell 100 +passes per year. Adding in cart and range probably brings that average cost to $2,500 or so. So a nice little January cash infusion. But here’s the kicker, and I think it’s pretty similar most places. Once that early money comes in, they’re looking for cash across the counter. Daily fee money. Leagues, tournaments, corporate outings, etc. Cash flow on that day to day basis. You’ll quickly start to hear “well the members are only paying $xxxx per round because they play X an out of times”. Then they start to think they’re leaving money out there and they start to implement changes that impact the pass holders even more. For us, they added Prime Time this year. Friday, Saturday, Sunday mornings, pass holders and employees (me) can’t play. And raised the green fees. I’ve said numerous times here I’d be pissed if I bought a “membership”. It seems like there is a tournament almost every weekend, and a league almost every night. I get the frustration. Especially paying $8,000 for that pass. Ouch! But I really do believe it is basically the same almost everywhere.

What a treat you’re in for. Still one of the most fun courses I’ve played. It was really, really fun when I used to play it for $25! Be interested to hear your thoughts. Of Bayside as well. It’s unique!

Have you been there before?

Finally pulled trigger after much back and forth justifying the spend. 925 Forged with MMT 85.
