Description
Voted best in the Captial District last year by Metroland readers, Frear Park Golf Course is a REVENUE generating facility for the City of Troy. With the elimination of the Recreation Supervisor Position, a hole in services has been created since no one appears to be responsible for tending to the course. The condition of our top-notch municipal golf course is a disgrace. Sand traps are supposed to contain sand not rough and the greens should be green not tan.

If it means my property and school taxes will be lower, troy can close the whole damn golf course as far as I'm concerned. What % of the city actually goes there and plays golf... less than 1%?
I'm tired of taxes constaly going up in Troy. If it means holding them steady or reducing them... eliminate some more positions.
thanks!

I attended the City Council's Parks & Recreation Committee's meeting this evening and neither Mr. Rogers nor Mr. Crawley saw fit to attend to answer questions regarding the upkeep and operations at Frear Park Golf Course although Mayor Tutunjian was there.
I left that meeting feeling as though our city is being run by a group of adolescent boys trying to one up each other while playing the "did too" "did not" game. Although the condition of the sand traps has been improved thanks to some help from DPW employees, this boys club still hasn't figured out WHY it's important to reinvest revenue generated by the golf course back into the golf course. Doesn't surprise me since it seemed to me that none of the members of the council's Parks & Recreation committee are avid golfers. By the way, neither is the Mayor.
I've not met Mr. Rogers or Mr. Crawley so will leave my opinion based solely on their lack of concern shown by their blatant absence from the meeting. Their obligation to the taxpayors and citizens of Troy should trump all other obligations except family ones. And, no, in my mind a baseball game DOESN'T count.

well, there's your answer to the lack of upkeep on the golf course.
If the 2 main people whose responsibility it is to oversee the course, can't be bothered to show up to an occasional public meeting... I guess they can't be bothered to make sure the sand traps are clean and the green grass is actually green at the course.
I do not golf but if I did, I'd probably be pi$$ed too.
