Hi, Ed, I’m calling to respond to the article that Chuckie Sarinelli wrote with L.A. Parker. The reason the golfing fees were up from 2006 to 2007 is simply because the course was closed for about four months because of such terrible conditions under Kevin Bannon’s regime of know-nothings out there. With the dandelions, the greens were unplayable. That’s the reason there was more play last year than the year before. Once again misrepresentation by Kevin Bannon. The course is still in terrible shape. There’s rocks in every sand trap at the Mercer County east course; their greens are still horrible. And indirectly they will tell you, if you don’t like the rocks go join a private country club. They could care less. This is Todd Wilkinson. You’ll be hearing from me again.

How are we ever going to get Tiger Woods to play Mountain View if the county can’t keep the darn dandelions off the greens?— Ed. Note
