Course of action is right out of bounds

When a local golf club is established for almost 120 years and is a major attraction to the area for both residents and visitors;

When the club employs local staff and supports local traders;

When a club offers leisure, exercise and friendship to business people and the workforce from all walks of life;

When the club every year raises thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes;

When the club plans for the future and invests large sums in upkeep and forward development;

When the club supports and encourages the younger generation as well as the older generation;

When the club is the only links course (meaning natural) in West Sussex;

When the club is a major contributor in payment of rates and utilities '”

you do not turn this important asset into a saltmarsh.

Oh, and by the way, nature and wildlife are doing pretty well on the course, thank you.
