15283 County Road 30 <br />Elk River, Mn.55330 <br />August ~8,1997 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Auch, <br />I spoke to you about our concerns regarding the unsafe conditions at the Pine <br />Wood Golf Course. Every year our vehicles are hit by stray balls on County <br />Road 30. We have reported this to golf course management and have found them <br />to be either uninterested or irresponsible. One person told my husband that <br />the golf course had no duty to tell golfers not to shoot a drive when a car is <br />coming on County Road 30 or at the intersection of Waco and County Road 30. If <br />we were damaged we had insurance to cover it and it wasn't their problem. On <br />another occasion we stopped to talk to a golfer whose shot had flown into our <br />car. He stood on the course holding his golf club at his groin and made a <br />masturbating motion. I am only sorry that I did not call the police in <br />response to this lewd and inappropriate behavior. It is only a matter of time <br />until someone is seriously injured when walking, biking, or otherwise passing <br />the course. Then everyone will be very sorry and run around correcting a <br />situation that has been dangerous for years. <br /> <br />The city should take immediate action requiring Paul Krause to put a net <br />around the outer perimeter of the course as well as protecting the homes of <br />those homeowners on the golf course who wish such protection. Hr. Krause has <br />made a pile of money off of the golf course, its time he took some of the <br />responsibility as well. <br /> Sl~rely,~ . <br /> ~L. Gaull ~ <br /> Philip A. Murray <br /> <br /> P.S. The other evening we drove from Monticello to Buffalo past a golf course <br /> that had exactly the kind of net we propose. It was safe and not unsightly. <br /> <br /> <br />
