Rumor has it that they will soon be closing down (at least the rigging
area) to install a wetland area (duck pond) The rigging area will certainly
be closed before the golf course. That still doesn't protect those
walkers/bikers/roller-bladers from a stray ball. If this rumor is true,
they will only be deferring an injury because there will be fewer people
and consequently less chance for someone to get hit.
Heavy earth moving equipment was seen there yesterday... anybody hear more
about this issue????

Subject: Heads up: 3rd errant golf balls
Folks,
If we start getting nasty (i.e. court injunction) we could easily
loose our privilege to launch at 3rd. If State/City officials
get wind of a public safety issue who do you think they will shut
down the golf course/driving range (which pays taxes) or our
windsurfing site?? You can bet they would shut down our site
and not even think twice about it. That's the way our govermnemnt
works --protect the public from themselves!.
Does anyone really know what's going on with the Golf Course?
My friend Bjorn (the one who got his booms dinged) has been talking
with management over at the Club House, and they claim they have
filed for a permit to put a fence up at the end of the fairway
1/2 as tall as the existing net. Has anyone else heard anything to
support that?
I've also heard that Randy Anderson has been in contact as well.
I think before we all get emotional about the issue we need to
find out what's really up.
Thanks,
Alan Segervall
