Dear League President:

Last week I received the 2009 Golf League Agreement form from Glenway PGA Pro Bill Scheer. Along with it came a letter, the interesting/relevant bits of which I’ll share below, quoted and edited for readability.

• The golf fees have had a slight increase over last year. We are now adding tax to the fees instead of including it in the rate. Basically it goes like this… The rate stayed the same as last year, but tax is now added. (T)he afternoon league rate will be $14.50 plus tax which comes to $15.30.
• The City of Madison Golf Operation has been running on a deficit the last few years, and hopefully the extra income from this increase will help make us profitable again. There have been many cuts to the golf maintenance budget, but we still plan on offering excellent playing conditions at affordable prices.

I think we'll all be fine unless they raise beer prices.

Also, I'd kindly ask you skilled golfers not to land long shots on the green, so as to help defray the costs of green repair. See you on the 28th.
