SF’s Presidio golf course is open as a park during the crisis. It was surreal to spend the day there. 150 acres of some of most gorgeous land on the peninsula: cypress groves, rolling hills and patches of nasturtium ... all usually too dangerous to walk through as a pedestrian.
It was intoxicating to be there and consider the possibility of this remaining a park forever. It would be an instant classic, an immense open space in America’s second densest city.
Also wondering what other institutions could just go away because the crisis has illuminated their thin justification for existing?
Lots of folks have written to share with me models of other courses alternating use between golf and general recreation. That sounds like a great compromise.
