Comments on: Golf’s Crash Course in Humility http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2009/01/23/golfs-crash-course-in-humility/ A Golf Blog, written by a guy living in Orlando, the golf capital of the world Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:42:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: LoneWolf http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/2009/01/23/golfs-crash-course-in-humility/comment-page-1/#comment-1210 LoneWolf Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:32:54 +0000 http://www.orlandogolfblogger.com/?p=133#comment-1210 I wonder if the idea of a truly public course (i.e. free and open to all) could fly in North America? I know that some cities have courses that they run but there is always a greens fee. What would happen to golf if there was free access for all? Perhaps the USGA and RCGA could put some funding into this initiative and maybe the PGA/LPGA too. They could help fund the courses with sponsorships and maybe some other creative ideas, but they would be like public parks.
