Video: Save Lions Municipal Golf Course

The University of Texas has plans to bulldoze and develop the historic, important Lions Municipal course in Austin.

With the WGC Match Play set to play out at a lush country club course surrounded by high-end real estate and three-story corporate tents, there's something very unsettling knowing that a historically important muni, urban green space and starting point for Austin golfers is doomed. Especially since UT-Austin has the largest university endowment in America.

Here's a good film on the course. And a reminder, as I noted in the Forward Press, the Criquet gang hosts a fundraiser Friday to help raise money for the fight.
