Does anyone expect prices on anything not to rise? Has the cost of gas and oil, labor, chemicals, electricity, and all of the other things that it takes to maintain a golf course gone up? Have taxes gone up?
I don't understand why anyone would be surprised that a price of something would go up.
I also hear a lot of people on this forum complain about the condition of the golf courses. It might be because they are being run on too small a budget. Maybe an increase in fess will result in better conditions. I don't know either way, but I do know that a car that cost $30,000 today could have been bought for about $3,000 forty years ago.
