But new owner Bryan Wallake, who, with his wife, Tamie, closed on the deal on Nov. 30, said community support in Canal Winchester — just east of the Columbus airport — will be vital as they move forward with their plans for the property.
“I’m not like the previous owner who had extra money to throw at it if it doesn’t make money,” he said. “I need it to be successful.”
So the course wasn’t profitable before, very cool. I bet you dollars to donuts this couple is gonna looking for a bailout from the local government in the next 3 years when this golf course ends up in the red again. Not to buy it back from them or anything, because then god forbid the city turns it into a park. No no they’ll be looking for some sort of subsidy to keep the course running or some shit.
Death to the petite bourgeoise.
They’re not going to get it because if the city wouldn’t subsidize the previous owners no way are they going to subsidize the new, poorer ones. The course will degrade from neglect as they fail to pay for basic upkeep, and eventually become a massive dilapidated lot and the only thing they will have accomplished is preventing the creation of a public park.
