We Stopped the Golf Tax in California, for now

Thanks to all the people standing up for golfers in California, the “Golf Tax” wasn’t included in the budget fix.

It was very close, and since it’s on the table now, it’s just a matter of time until thye try again.

So stay informed and stay in control, voice your opinion, here, at ForeCalifornia.com and everywhere!

Man’s body found on Tustin Ranch Golf Course

Just before 7am this morning (2/4/09) a groundkeeper at the course found the man’s body on the green of the first hole of Tustin Ranch Golf Course.

It seemed to the police that the man did not come to play golf, and it turned out the the estimated time of dealth was actually 11pm the night before.

Sgt. Paul Garaven of the Tustin Police said: “It looked like he came here to kill himself.”

The man had died from a single gunshot wound. At this time the police are calling it a sucide, but they will be investigating this more.

Stop the tax on golf in California

Well we are going to open comments for this…

What are your thoughts Californian’s ??

Is golf a luxury ??

Because that is what is seems to come down to.

Golf may have been only for the rich many years ago, but nowadays you don’t have to be rich to play. More kids play the sport more than ever before, it has become very popular over the recent years with young adults too. This high tax oon golf will only make it harder for people to play.

The way some of us here see it:

Golf club memberships, county club memberships, and any courses over $200.00 a round per-person. Are clearly for people that can afford it. And can be considered a luxury. So we can understand their idea of a tax on that.

Partial Memberships” like the “Coyote Club” at Coyote Hills Golf Course. (It’s a great deal, you pay a few hundred bucks for a year, and you get a discount plus twilight an hour early.)

Is that a luxury for a person or just a person trying to save money and price down the cost ?

Should they be taxed too ?

We should be making golf more affordable for everyone to play, not making it harder and more expensive.

Yes some golf can be considered a luxury, but where is the line… $100 a round $150 more ?

Golf teaches people ethics, good manners, to respect others,promotes good health, and the list goes on.

2008 Holiday Season Shopping Ideas

For holidays coming up everyone is always looking for the unique gift idea. For a golfer, there are a lot of accessories, spoof gifts, products, and more.

So much it’s hard to keep up with the new stuff. We recently were introduced to Tattoo Golf and took a liking to to their sick golf gear.

This shirt is simple and very fashionable, made of very high quality materials, and comes in 3 different colors. Notice the hint of splattered blood, kinda cool but not too “out-there”.

Then there are the gifts needed for those whom already have everything, they are the hardest people to shop for.

Well we bet that they don’t have these…

Solid black golf balls !

We have seen many colored golf balls even clear ones, but we hadn’t come across these before. Get a sleeve of 3 for a stocking stuffer, or a full dozen.
