San Diego Union Tribune columnist Logan Jenkins turned out a “Bricks and Bouquets” column today and guess who got a brick? The Carlsbad City Council. Logan awarded them his “Rich Robotic Golf award:”
. . . why give a pass to the council for blowing an extra $277,200 ($4,620 a month for five years) on gizmos that tell golfers the distance to the pin – and, theoretically at least, to speed up play? Good lord, this is a municipal golf course, not a private country club. It’s bad enough that players are forced to rent carts – you read correctly, no walking is allowed – but now another layer of pricey technology will separate golfers from the way the game is traditionally played.
Pretty easy target, but we can’t say we don’t disagree.
