On one of my walks last week, I noticed this setup between a townhouse cluster and the local private golf course.
(Interestingly, this course is owned by developers who’ve
been trying for about a decade to fill all the space with townhouses. Same
thing’s happening with the public course on the other side of the People’s
Republic. Watching the furor on both sides of the fight has been interesting.)
So I walked over to see what it was. It was American Free
Enterprise at work.
This is located on the second hole of the course, so I don’t
know how many golfers will feel the need of extra balls that early in a round.
I also know nothing about the economics of golf, so I have no earthly notion
whether $2 per ball is an attractive price.
I did find it interesting that there’s a quasi-honor
system: up to you whether you pay, but if you do, once your money’s in the
slot, it’s secure.
Unless someone wants to take the whole thing.
