To the links

Erick's critical of the state park golf courses, but I'm not so much. For starters, they're absolutely beautiful and challenging courses that are affordable and open to all folks (and I might go play the one at Victoria Bryant State Park on Thursday).

If anything, we haven't really had a concrete marketing effort to promote them across the state. Once you get out there and play them, you keep coming back.

It would be nice to see some sort of agency be set up to to draw financial and consulting support to ease the burden. Perhaps a 'Friends of the State Parks' association or something (and that might already exist).

There is already such an organization, JMac. and if you join the Friends, you get to play for free once.

I love our state courses. Besides which, if recreation in general is a worthy purpose, then why not golf?

(I'm playing at Arrowhead Pointe in a few weeks.)

Many thanks Nicki. I figured this was too obvious to not already exist.
