\u201cThe best golf courses are those that most vividly suggest to the golfer that this is the landscape he was born to hunt. A good golf course feels like it was always there, waiting to be discovered, not imposed upon the land.\u201d<\/em> – Steve Sailer<\/sub><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Since I’ve said all I have to say about the Library here<\/a>, and here<\/a>, and here<\/a>, I want to move on to other city services and facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll start with Quail Creek, our municipal golf course. To be honest, the reviews are not so good<\/a>. From what people tell me, Mr. Sailer was not thinking about Quail Creek when he wrote that quote. But still, it’s our course, it’s open to everyone, and we ought to be proud of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So these are my questions for the golfers amongst us –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What can be done to improve Quail Creek?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Is it worth spending more on upkeep?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Should the greens fees be raised?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindly answer either in the comments, by text or by email below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
