Mike, Mike, Mike, you poor misguided bleeding heart liberal moron. I had in mind some instruction area along the lines of a First Tee center. Maybe throw in a Caddy Academy so some local kids would have employment in the summer. Get them interested in the game? Could the shop be expanded to show kids how mechanics repair motors and mowers?
Maybe try to convince your local golf asosciation to have their offices there?? There are alot of things that could be added to help the adults and kids in that area to take up golf or golf related activities. I love old clubhouses but in that location I believe serving the community Trumps, like that ?, a re-creation of a building.
Plus if you ever see me lobbying for a pool please call my doctor to increase my meds, I would love to see ours become a short game area with a nice bar.
