“This is a real and unacceptable safety issue [...] The situation calls for more thorough oversight ensuring safe tee placement, not merely limiting liability through blaming the victims and unskilled golfers.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pj6e5c3imclkkwvzwnmaf4be/bafkreiepm5cvrmnaj3k6dyz3jxqb4wujwzjjvsmd352nwqd7ilmztuz77i@jpeg)

Update: due to contradictory statements made by the candidate, we are changing our evaluation of Matthew Dowgwillo's support for the Hiawatha plan from UNDECIDED to NO. We do not believe voters can trust him to see the plan through to implementation. www.hiawatha4all.com/2025-candida...
Matthew Dowgwillo (At Large) — Hiawatha For All
Matthew Dowgwillo has made contradictory statements about his stance, sometimes claiming to have not decided and sometimes stating he opposes the 9-hole plan.

Did you know you can spark a political movement by getting Engineering Mad? Sometimes all it takes is one 🔥🔥🔥 whitepaper.
I'm so happy to see this. We've come a long way since I got Engineering Mad at the state of the conversation days before the 2017 election.
(Charles Rucker is almost certainly an 18 hole course supporter, given past statements, FWIW.)

Something else to add in your feedback on the concept plans: any new golf course design MUST arrange the direction of play to eliminate the stray ball problem. It's totally unacceptable to treat your neighbors the way the current golf course does.
What's it like having the Minneapolis Park and Rec Board as a neighbor? Not that great.
