Billy Casper Golf Meets Philadelphia's City Council
The plan by Philadelphia's Fairmount Park Commission to contract with Billy Casper Golf to manage four of the City's six municipal golf courses found the rough a couple of weeks ago. Billy Casper Golf took over management of the four courses--John F Byrne, FDR, and the two at Cobbs Creek--on Jan. 1, but any agreement must be approved by Philadelphia's City Council, who voiced some concerns at a hearing before the Council's Parks and Recreation Committee. As Billy Casper Golf has learned, dealing with Philadelphia's City Council can be as tough as conditions at a U.S. Open golf course. According to a story in The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Fairmount Park will save $500,000 annually under the Billy Casper arrangement and is guaranteed $3.5 million in fees and improvements over 10 years" and will also operate the City Line Sports Center at 7900 City Ave., which includes a driving range, miniature golf and batting cages. But "City Council members briefed last week insisted, however, that Billy Casper formulate plans to incorporate high schools near the courses, and even come up with reduced prices for family members of students there," reported The Inquirer. Council set a deadline of June 1 for BCG to formulate their new plans and comply with minority hiring demands or else they default on the contract. A spokesman for Billy Casper Golf, one of the country's largest operators of municipal golf courses, was quoted as saying Council's requests "won't be a problem."

Hi...a group of us are interested in working with BCG and Fairmount Park Commission to restore Cobbs to its original prominence (and routing).
Please see the discussion that's taken place over the past six months or so at the following website;

I think you'll find it of great interest.
We've also put together a formal "History and Design Evolution" that is rather huge and comprehensive.
If you have interest, I can get you a copy thru yousendit.com, as its simply too large for conventional email.
Rally for Fairmount Park - tomorrow, April 15th, at 12 noon in front of City Hall.
Mayor Nutter has proposed $3 million in increased funding for the Park this year. Come out and let Council know you support the Park and the Mayor.
I apologize - the rally is Wednesday the 16th. Here is the official announcement:
Philadelphia Parks Alliance And Allies and Supporters
Invite you to join us for a
RALLY to SUPPORT $3 MILLION for PARKS
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
12 noon (Rain or Shine)
City Hall
(Northeast Corner)
The Philadelphia Parks Alliance and its hundreds of supporters and allies have won major progress toward more funding to revitalize our parks.
Mayor Nutter has proposed a $3 million increase ($2.5 million for Fairmount Park and $500,000 for Recreation Department) for the coming year. In addition, Mayor Nutter has proposed a 46% increase of the Fairmount Park budget over 5 years, from its current $13 million annual budget to $19 million. With City resources to parks flat-lined for decades, this is the first time in years the budget includes a major increase for parks. The increase would be funded through a proposed increase in the parking tax, which City Council must approve.
Now it’s time to win support in City Council so they approve the $3 million for parks.
This is major progress!!! One year ago in April, the Parks Alliance launched a city-wide citizens inspection of parks and then held a hearing on its findings “Parks in Trouble”. Mayor Nutter has made good on a campaign promise to expand funding for parks - his first budget includes $3 million new dollars - a terrific first step toward full and adequate investment into one of Philadelphia’s greatest assets - its parks.
