May 17th is the Day of Reckoning!

or endure the Agony of defeat;
YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
On May 17th, at 9 a.m., in the 12th Floor City Council Chambers, 202 “C” St., Donna Frye’s Natural Resource and Cultural Committee will be hearing the Mayor’s updated 5 year plan for Torrey, Balboa and Mission Bay. The plan includes:
Increased green fees for all courses.
Elimination of the Senior discount.
Elimination of Senior “green card.”
Elimination of County resident discount.
Reduction of TPMGC/TPWGC tournaments by 50%
Weekend rates for Friday play.
New fees for long term reservations that limit access for daily public golfers
Makes you pay upfront for a clubhouse no one wants
Continuation of Hotel tee times and Hotel sponsored extra tournament times.
Approval of the Century Club’s 11,600 s.f. office building on the driving range.
Greatly increasing South Course fees to discourage residents.
You must come out to oppose these changes. SDMGA has a balanced alternative to protect resident municipal golfers and non-resident play. WEAR SOMETHING GREEN TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.
