"Sharp Park, the creation of famed course designer Alister MacKenzie, deserves to stay open."
/Nice to see the San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board suggest that Alister MacKenzie's Sharp Park be saved as a golf course. Not sure about the suggestion that the course needs modifying but this was an interesting jab toward the environmentalist side:
There is an distinct air of political and legal convenience in making Sharp Park the battleground over the endangered snake. Its habitat losses have been significant around San Francisco International Airport - but the snake's defenders recognize the futility of trying to shrink the footprint of a major airport.
And there's this video on YouTube that does a nice job capturing the audience of golfers at Sharp, something I didn't dwell on much in my Golf World story.
