Yesterday, Lighthead and Putzker warned the people of Illinois if they don’t follow their edicts, the phase in plans will be canceled and the State will go back to total lock-down.

I can't express what needs to happen to folks like this cause I'd probably be banned.

Didn’t Chicago plow under a municipal airport a few years back?

She has no jurisdiction over county property. So is the County o.k. with this?

Horrible, painful deaths. After days of torture.

Bet she gets re-elected by a big majority, because I would guess anyone not institutionalized will have departed Abe home.

>> Why the disconnect between the mayor’s office and the governor’s office? <<

Apparently none of Lard Butt's limousine liberal country club pals do their golfing within city limits. Those cheap city clubs are for the mere peasants.

But thankfully for them, Shoreacres in Lake Bluff (an elite five star country club that allows members by invite only) is now open for business!

Banning golf carts or limiting them to one person would (possibly) be reasonable. Requiring masks and social distancing would be reasonable. Closing outdoor recreation rather than placing some restrictions is shockingly stupid.

Time for the Chicago police to go on strike and inform the nazi mayor that she’s on her own for protection.

The courses named in the article are operated by the park district or the county forest preserves. Most have retained private firms to operate the courses since the golf managers were more efficient than government employees. Indirectly, brain dead Lightfoot’s edict has cost the local governments money.

Most of the municipal courses are in formerly white neighborhoods. The county courses, Billy Caldwell, Edgebrook and Indian Boundary, are in good neighborhoods.

Yes - but Harborside is next to Pullman/Roseland - The Old South Shore Country Club is outright dangerous. Joe Louis and River Oaks doesn’t need comment.

South Shore is not as well maintained as it was during its glory years as a private club, but the Chicago Police Department has a substantial presence there since the mounted police stable their horses there. Once you are on the property things are usually okay. I have heard bad things about safety at Jackson Park. River Oaks was a muddy mess the last time that I golfed there.

Some of my Polish friends went to South Shore to Golf last Summer- They were not treated very well. The Park District guy kept asking them where they were from - they told him the North Side. The Park District guy said - you don’t have any Golf Courses up there?

I tried to warn them.
