Norton Proposes Private Funds for Public Golf Courses

Writing in the Examiner, Hayley Peterson reports on a resurrected bill from D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton that would allow private companies to take over running the District’s three public golf courses in order to finance much needed improvements. The plan, presumably, would mean access to the historically cheap public courses would become more expensive.

Any readers out there care to educate this non-golfer on the current state of the city's greens? Would you be willing to pay more to have them spruced up and modernized?
