  • Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6
    Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6 Wyre Forest District Council Golf Facility Review Introduction This report reviews current golf play provision within Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC). Golf was not included within the Playing Pitch Strategy as supplied by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (2017) because it is not a statutory sport. Although golf is not a statutory sport in which to include within a PPS as outlined by Sports England1, it was felt that a review would be beneficial in regards to the emerging Local Plan and specifically in regards to proposed site allocations within the former Burlish Golf Course. This report will review the current golf courses within Wyre Forest District, and nearby courses in adjacent councils. It will also review current demand levels for Golf both in terms of local demand and also wider national trends. It will also discuss in detail the former golf course site at Burlish, and the proposed vision for the site. 1- Current Provision Wyre Forest District currently has five English Golf affiliated courses currently operating, all of which are run as privately operated clubs. Each club does offer visitor pay and play service but are primarily membership clubs. There is also an additional non affiliated private pitch and putt course based in Winterfold school, and a pay as you play pitch and putt course at Mini Pro Golf Parks. All of the Golf Clubs are within a 20 minute drive time for all Wyre Forest District residents, which is the drive-time catchment as recommended by Sport England.

  • How the Pga Tour Can Be Held Accountable for Fan Safety
    GERLACH.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 1/26/2021 11:11 PM OUT OF THE ROUGH: HOW THE PGA TOUR CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAN SAFETY RANDY GERLACH* Golf is a sport that can trace its roots back to the 1400s and is famed for its rules. In the legal system, however, it is the “baseball rule” that governs over golf-related injuries. This rule, originally applied to profes- sional baseball, limits the liability for sporting venues as long as they offer some protected seats. As golf has risen in popularity, so have the number of fans at PGA Tour events. Coupled with less accurate players, and balls traveling faster than ever, injuries to fans have become increasingly com- mon. Despite states moving away from assumption of risk tort schemes, the baseball rule has remained, serving as a narrow doctrine that lowers the burden of care required by stadiums and sporting venues. Conversely, busi- nesses in the United States operate under the concept of premises liability— specifically, a business inviter-invitee relationship. This requires a business owner to undertake reasonable care or keep the premises reasonably safe. This Note argues that professional baseball and professional golf are too different for the baseball rule to be applied properly to golf. With no central playing field in golf, for instance, the golf playing surface is nearly endless. Instead, the PGA Tour should be held to the business inviter duty of care. Protecting fans will not only grow the game of golf but improve the experi- ence for everyone. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.
