The golf course industry has fallen on hard times as evidenced by numerious coures in receivership, for sale, or facing actions simular to Killearn CC. While I dislike having to abandon the north nine, the loss of CC frontage by a handful of abutting home owners is vastly off set by salvaging the remainder facility for some 3700 homeowners of Killearn Estates as the core or center piece of a very successful, long established, and popular subdivision. Sorry folks in the long run, the majority rules, always has and always will. (AND that is the way it should be).

In reply to Karen. Karen - the facts accepted by the court are Mr. Tuck offered the club for sale to the country club members and they declined. You might not agree with the process that took place, but those are the facts documented in the public record. TR has published a number of stories on this issue.

The Killearn Country Club owner NEVER offered to sell the golf course. He refused to consider it. Can’t imagine where you heard that complete fabrication. An offer of 2.8 million was given to him & he said he was not interested at all. If you’re going to write something, at least get your facts straight.

Also the buffer that has been proposed is only 30 feet as opposed to the buffer all of us home owners have given for the past years of 50 feet.

And, do you realize this man has THREE mortgages on this property owing over 2.8 million?? Look it up if you don’t believe it. So how is he going to do what he says when he states he needs 3 million but owes 2.8?

And I don’t know if you saw the newspaper article stating how many millions of dollars were going to be needed to renovate the FSU golf course and they weren’t even building a clubhouse. This is pure fiction & this guy us taking everyone for a ride!

Wise up Tallahassee & don’t let this carpetbagger hoodwink you. Send him packing!
