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.

Name the destination courses you admire and let’s stack them against Greystone.

I didn’t say “limit” play. I said “control” the play. Big difference.

Pebble starts at 4:30 in the morning with a 40 man crew in an environment that the grass grows year round and $700 a round. Schedule and/or price….Name a course around here like that.

That’s not golf. That’s something else.

If a course gets more than 30k rounds, it just becomes a parking lot….literally.

The nice courses around the country are nice for a reason….they control the play. Either through scheduling or price or both. They cater to the course first and the golfer second. And when you cater to the course (through maintenance, rest, COP, etc) you are catering to the golfer.

50k rounds is almost too many for 2 courses!

My man, I enjoyed your reply. Very much.

But….

It’s like on the Rant when people say, “hey, we’re winning 10 games a year!” and the response is “With all this talent and resources, we should be winning championships!”

The US has so much waste and corruption that those facts and numbers you speak of should be through the roof!

Yes, we have it good…..relatively. But do you ever look at what we could be without the greed and defiance and shear hate. We shouldn’t be in debt. We should have amazing healthcare. People should put their heads on the pillow at night and peacefully know things are good because not only do they bust their arse, but people actually care that they do.

You didn’t read that sentence right….

The power struggle is ONLY between the haves…..

The have nots have no say.
