(I disagreed with your post because I disagree with the idea, not with your post!)

This is complete bull sh$t. I'm signing every petition I can find. Adding pickleball courts in some other parks. Like Florida needs more of either.

Apparently they are doing things like this in multiple state parks across Florida and having all of the meetings for approval on the same day in different locations across the state.

Pure lunacy. That park is full of federal and state listed species. There are hundreds of defunct and nearly defunct golf courses throughout the state. Wrecking scarce endemic scrub habitat to build another one is about as idiotic as it could get. Not to mention how much water will be wasted trying to force golf course grass grow on sand hills.....

It is hilariously called the "great outdoors initiative"

Golfing, pickleball courts proposed at Florida state parks under Great Outdoors Initiative

Pickleball courts, golfing and disc golf courses and more lodging could soon be coming to at least eight Florida state parks.

They lease the land to a private corp to build. Once they get approval for golf course, think how easy (and profitable) it will be to add very high end, exclusive homes? The governor must want this.

Nicklaus group still hoping to build golf course in Jonathan Dickinson State Park

MARTIN COUNTY — Backers of a signature Jack Nicklaus designed golf course proposed for Jonathan Dickinson State Park are hoping for a mulligan.

If at first you don't succeed, try again with another lickspittle in the governor's mansion.

Meetings have been postponed to the week of September 2, ostensibly to find larger venues (the Jonathan Dickinson meeting in Stuart was to be held at a location with limited parking and capacity for only 150 under the fire code; upwards of 500-1000 were expected to show) ... I'm sure they're hoping people will have vacation plans Labor Day week.
