"COURSE CLOSED"
This is what the sign says a short distance from the cache, near the entrance to a fairway. This summer another golf course bit the dust in Sun City Center. Will there be more to follow? A search of some recent articles and columns on the closing of golf courses around the nation produced the following reasons:
They're losing money.
The game takes too long.
The decline of the middle class.
People are too busy.
Golf is too expensive.
Golf is difficult to learn.
I have to admit, geocaching is a lot cheaper, it's easy to learn, I'm not limited to 18 holes, and I can look for as many caches/day as I want. Unlike many golfers these days I can take long walks or ride my bike while geocaching instead of riding a golf cart. (Although in Sun City Center one can certainly ride a golf cart while geocaching.)
You're looking for a camo pill bottle about knee high. If anyone asks what you're doing just tell them you lost a golf ball.
