Port Arthur, TX 77641-1089
Dear Mr. Fitzgibbons:
It is imperative that we address the Babe Zaharias driving range tee box issue as soon as
possible. As stated in previous correspondence, the teeing surface, in its cunent.state,
cannot withstand the amount of use that it has sustained since the closure of two
reputable driving ranges in close proximity.
The estimate for expansion will not deviate from the original estimate of $13,500 that
was gathered in the summer months of 2009 and submitted for approval. We would like
to respectfully ask to be reimbursed from the capital improvement fund. Aquila Golf will
absorb any expenses over the $13,500 (which is basically materials and equipment
rental) and we will complete the project in a timely manner.
Please advise us how to proceed. As always, we appreciate your willingness to help with
improvements on the golf courses.
Sincerely,
Justin Pierson
Director of Operations
Aquila Golf Inc.
