And apparently we all like it that way, at least a majority of us,it would appear. For instance, public schools are subsidized – if you define subsidy as payment by people who do not directly use the system. Even the idea of actual students contributing to purchase a few of the books they use was met with strong resistance. But the determination has been made that regardless of the current users (students), the system benefits all citizens to the extent that it is reasonable that all persons pay for it.

So the question becomes “does operating a Golf Course benefit city residents to the extent that it is worth subsidizing?” Does it add value and benefit to living in the City?

That’s a question Citizens need to answer. I don’t think its worth subsidizing, but I suppose I am biased by the fact that I do not play golf.

I have heard its a golf course of marginal goodness anyway. Cut it loose.
