I know we are only a little over a week away from the home opener with Western, and I still can't believe that the new rules at the golf course haven't been refined.
I find it confusing that the changes are meant to improve safety.  Having to put up a canopy behind your car takes away 9 feet from both sides of the laneway.  If safety was the issue, wouldn't it be wiser to put the canopies besides the car, thus keeping the roadway clear?  We have been tailgating on the golf course for almost 20 years.  We drive from Toronto to the games and have forged relationships over the years with our neighbours.  We know we can't park where pilon lady has laid out her pilons, or where pickup truck guy says "you can't park here, I have parked here for decades", dude your not even thirty?  But I digress.  That was the way the golf course was and that was how it worked.  Let people decide whom they choice to park beside, not some yellow vested guy who wanted to land jets at the airport with his pointer chose for you.

Ann Arbor Golf Course, come clean, the issue isn't about safety.  It is about cramming as many cars as possible into the place as you can.  I can see them measuring the distance between doors, and telling people you need to be closer.  Eventually they will have everyone park so close together that you won't even be able to get out of your car.

Solution?  Charge the people who have canopies a little extra ($10) and give them the freedom to put them beside the car.  That way you increased revenues, improved safety and made your customer happy.  Remember we are your customer.
