The design is very severe,&#8221; <strong>Sunrise Golf <\/strong>consulting company President <strong>Mark Tansey<\/strong> said at a Carlsbad City Council workshop TuesdayIn an interview Friday, Tansey said several holes along the back stretch of the course are extremely tough for the average golfer. The holes have multiple &#8220;forced carry&#8221; points where golfers must hit their balls over hazards and can lose those balls if their shots fail. . . . Add fairways with slope issues and the bad visibility from some hole tee-off points, and you&#8217;ve got some very frustrated golfers, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, $75 million just doesn&#8217;t buy the same quality golf course that it used to. It&#8217;s difficult for many to remain calm when discussing the horrific theft of public moneys that is <strong>The Lossings<\/strong>. How City Council members who voted for the golf course can in the same breath discuss a &#8220;coming public employee compensation disaster&#8221; is completely astounding. At this point we&#8217;d probably all be better off if the City sold the clubhouse to a chain restaurant, closed the golf course, and turned the land into a public park that everyone could enjoy without having to pay $80.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/m.nctimes.com\/news\/local\/carlsbad\/article_2eec96bf-f972-5d20-a3e6-b6687bd9dc90.html\" target=\"_blank\">North County Times<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn&#8217;t take a professional to know that something is terribly wrong with Carlsbadistan&#8217;s The Lossings at Carlsbad golf course.
