In a last-minute plea to prevent the Lake Country, B.C., club from being developed into playing fields for a nearby school district, local golfers presented a petition to city council with 327 signatures. “We only have one golf course and if it’s gone we’ll never get another one,” said a resident, arguing that the nine-hole course adds to the small town’s appeal. “They may build an extensive one on the hill, but none of us will ever play it.”
