Mike, I can't see many of the 1000-2000 potential closures being private. They'll be local munis, daily fees, run down par 3s that have been bleeding for years. We'll see quite a few suburban residential golf developments close and maybe some of the bigger ones like Reynolds or Sea Palms.
I have a harder time wrapping my head around how the local metropolitan courses will be handled. In my ideal world, they'll go for such cheap costs that we can do a number of profitable things to them depending on the site and the region: wind farms, urban agriculture, viticulture, orchards, consolidating and redesigning for juniors, nature preserves, bike trails, etc. Unfortunately, I fear a lot of them will be clear cut, graded, and paved over so a Walmart can move in.
