5% of the population (4,000 people), paying $20 once a week or every other week, is in the 7 figures (another $1,000,000 to $4,000,000)
They’re using that money to maintain 45 holes,
Even at $1,000,000 in extra revenue, you can do a lot with an extra $20,000/hole. At the high end, its an extra $80,000 a hole.

Well, actually ....
This poll is obviously skewed since it addresses golfers interests primarily and was likely passed over by many non-golfers. Not "5% of the population", just 5% of those who bothered to take the poll on TOTV.
Ÿout $20 per week is $1080.00 per year for a few courses that will (hopefully) be no better than all the courses should be maintained.
And what about the rest of the courses? Do they get left to die now that there is only 4 or 5 courses that matter? And since only 4 or 5 courses will be worth playing, they will become high demand and eventually more expensive, perhaps evolve into a "members only" club?
Meanwhile, since the rest have been allowed to go to pot, might as well tear them out and fill the area with homes.
I hate to say it, but this whole thing, with "well actually" hints that the decision might have already been made and the "pole" may have merely been a gage of how hard it is going to be to shove it down the throats of the over 95% who said NO.
