<br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />RECEIVED <br />JUNE 20, 1990 ~ ~uN 2 I ~99n <br />TO: Bob Herrera, City Manager <br />FROM: Alex Osmond, Golf Course Manager/Pro <br />SUBJECT: Golf Course <br />CITY MANAGtRS <br />OFFICE <br />I have been monitoring the play at Bay Forest Golf Course since we <br />have converted to some temporary greens. The amount of play seems <br />to diminish considerably between the hours of 11:00 AM till 3:00 <br />PM. I feel we should do something to promote more play during <br />these hours. <br />We have established a large amount of regular players in the <br />Bayshore area. Our key is to express to them that we want them to <br />continue to play here whi 1 e our greens are not to our standard. <br />Also the heat of the summer seems to keep people indoors, but in <br />the past we never experienced this much of a decline in play. <br />I recommend that during this interim period of replanting our <br />greens we reduce our green fee for the slow time of day. We would <br />start the twilight rate at 11:00 AM on weekdays and 2:00 PM on <br />week-ends. The twilight hour now is 5:00 PM everyday. I think <br />this plan would assure us of more players and more cart rental. <br />Also it would show our regular customers we want them to continue <br />their play at Bay Forest during these tough times. <br />I feel we should begin this program as soon as possible and <br />discontinue it on August 15, 1990, (our estimated time of resuming <br />play on our permanent greens). <br />Please review this plan and let me know your response. <br /> <br />AO/neb <br />
