My two cents: City council meeting could spell bad news for Tucson golfersΒ 

Item 9 on the Tucson City Council agenda Tuesday is β€œAmending Tucson City Golf Rates.”

It’s showdown day. OB Sports, which manages the five city courses, is expected to ask for rate increases. A bigger question is likely to be explored: Can any of the five courses be sold or shuttered?

In November, OB Sports improved its revenue by $38,000 over November 2014, but this is a complicated and unpredictable issue that has been brewing for about 15 years.

If you care about muni golf in Tucson, it might be a good idea to be in the audience Tuesday evening and make yourself heard.
