[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Played 9 holes with my sons on Sunday. Course was packed, range was full, half a dozen people on the chipping green.

In other words- it was fully utilized.[/quote]

That's well and good, but something like an outdoor concert venue could be hosting hundreds or thousands of people in the same space.[/quote]

Do you even know how golf works?

You get a tee time spaced 12 minutes apart from another group. So 4 people tee off and four people tee off 12 minutes later. This goes on all day on the three courses there. So 16 people an hour times three courses, times 13 hours of light, times 365 days. 624 golfers a day. 18,720 a month, 224,640 a year. And that doesn't factor the driving range or the chipping green or the putting green so times that by 2. Lets say half a million people use the facility each year. Weather my dampen those numbers but not much- Hains is always packed. That's a poor use of a dredged island???

But you'd rather have drunk and rowdy concerts there with, at best, an average of 40% attendance? Why?[/quote]
