“Golf courses are just getting bombarded from all sides,” said Stuart Lindsay, principal at Edgehill Golf Advisors, who called it “absolute insanity” to try to come up with fair tax legislation that lumps struggling rural courses and exclusive clubs together. “If they want to make sure that golf stays a rich, old, fat, white guy’s game, they’re doing a good job.”
Galef, the assemblywoman, introduced a similar bill in 2018. This time around, the measure made it out of committee in the lower house. If in the next few weeks it doesn’t show any more progress, Galef and Carlucci will try again next year. Their goal, he said, is simply about “making sure businesses are paying their fair share of taxes.”
