| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Nettle Creek Country Club in Morris, Illinois, stating that "after months of secret negotiations, and numerous meetings with lawyers and bankers, the elderly couple and the young golf professional thought that they had reached an agreement. The agreement was tight enough that all employees of the club...were told that a sale was pending." Discusses how the buyer "has backed out." Details the various issues the course encountered starting in 2004. States that "fortunately...costs...have been well controlled during these lean years. [They] have adopted, like so many courses, an operating pattern of holding down the maintenance budget while still trying mightily to provide a quality golf course." Concludes that "in all probability, [employees] will all...stay [at Nettle Creek] until the end. Loyalty...mixed with financial reward...mixed with home, property, and family...has determined that." |
