Supporters of the course fear the property someday will be sold to housing developers, but federal land-use restrictions will keep that from happening,Elliott said. If the city’s marketing efforts fail and the course continues to lose money, however, the land could be turned into a park “E , the public will decide whether it's something they want to continue,” said Steve Wetherell, Salt Lake City's golf manager. Elliott, Rose Park's pro since 1993, also will oversee the par-3 course and Rose Park superinten: dent Ross Caputo’s staff will han- dle the maintenance. The par3 course's revenue will be tracked separately Wetherell hopes moregolfers will play the course, once they knowabout it. The city’s marketing efforts mostly will be geared to next spring, but Elliott and Weth erell want to create couples leagues and have men's and women’s associations from other city courses stage tournaments at the course this summer. Generating moreplay will require more formal programsthanatthe city’s other seven courses. Judy Hollberg, a longtime teaching pro who recently was hiredasastarter at Glendale Golf Course,will conduct clinics at the par-3 course, Wetherell figures womenandchildren can become a prime market for the course, offering a “nonthreatening” transition from lessons and drivingrangesessionsto playing golf. AsElliott said, “It's a wonderful course for beginners.” Elliott and the par-3 course will become central figures in The First Tee, a national program de- signed to introduce youngsters to the gameand its values. He's a board member of Youth on Course, the nonprofit organiza- tion that hopes to form aFirst Tee chapter in Utah. The program al: ready has started with children from the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salt Lake, using the Rose Park driving range and practice areas.
