Boulder Creek to City- and County-Owned Golf Courses: Give Me Your Email Lists

October 8, 2010October 7, 2010 by Allen Freeman

If you provided your email address to any of the city- or county-owned golf courses in Northeast Ohio and you thought your contact information would be kept private — you thought wrong.

In fact, even if the golf course specifically stated that your email address “would never be shared, rented or sold” and you believed those facilities would abide by their clearly stated privacy policies– again, you thought wrong.

And it’s a truly convoluted reason as to why your private email address has been given away by these city- and county- owned golf courses.

Ohio EPA to Munson Township About Their Plans for Fowlers Mill: Not This Year

But this new proposal still fills the pockets of Todd Peterson and his Fowlers Mill ownership group, paying them more money for some small slices of the golf course than what the group paid for the entire property just last year. And if the Ohio EPA grant is secured, Munson Township would close the best holes on the nationally-recognized Pete Dye-designed golf course, while the ownership group uses some of the lesser holes across the road on the Maple 9 to keep open a newly-configured 18-hole facility.
