Manteca should sell golf course
Placeholder Image
Fred Millner — a persistent observer at City Council meetings who sometimes rubs people the wrong way when voicing his opinion — is on to something.Why not sell the Manteca Golf Course?Staff got ahead of the game essentially having the City Council rubber stamp their decision to have a marketing consultant analyze the golf course and set the stage for replacing longtime contract golf pro Alan Thomas with another golf pro they hire directly or secure the services of a company to do the same thing.The real study that is needed is whether taxpayers — and golfers for that matter — should entrust the city to keep running the golf course. Let’s be perfectly honest, shall we? The problem has never been with the golf pro or the restaurant/concession operator — at least not since the late Frank Guinta and his son John took over the food service.
