Loss of course would damage social fabric | Letter to the editor

Posted

I am writing to comment on an aspect of golf that I urge the Port Townsend City Council and community to carefully consider as they plan the future direction of the Port Townsend Golf Course.  

In particular, I am referring to the social aspect of the game. If one does not play golf, it is hard to appreciate the positive effect it has on social relationships within a community. 

This happens on the course, the driving range, the pro shop, and restaurant every day with and without pandemics as friends and strangers of all ages and backgrounds come together in sharing a common passion.  

The loss or diluting of the functions of the Port Townsend Golf Course would greatly lessen the social fabric of Port Townsend.
