      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Karen Booth, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>We need to retain Andy Soden as Director of Golf. The only positive we have seen in the last 15 years should not be replaced by a non golfer. Our fess have gone to the Parks Department for years sybsidizing other poark projects. We deserve a director who has the knowledge and experience and proven track record such as Andy&gt;</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Jorgen Gustafson, Tacoma, WA, United States of America<p>No offense to Mr. Wilkinson but this is a puzzling and truly terrible decision.  Andy Soden is a great man and a great ambassador for the game of golf.  I have been part of the Washington Golf Community for 15 years and worked in the industry for 10.  In todays troubled golf market, appointing someone with no experience will prove to be costly and irresponsible.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. William Price, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>The Parks Dept. Director seems very shortsighted in replacing a man to run the City golf courses with someone who has no experience whatsoever, including playing the game of golf!  This is like asking my auto mechanic to perform my laser eye surgery.  With all to good that has been done by Mr. Soden in the last several years, it seems foolish to take a chance of having all this good undone for no good reason.  Maybe we should replace our Parks Director and reinstate Mr. Soden.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Mark DeFaccio, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>I would hope that an honest review of Andy&#039;s removal would be forthcoming.  As a customer of the municipal golf courses, I can attest to the improvement in the product under his direction, and the anguish of the employees upon learning he was fired.  Honesty is the cornerstone of civility, and there appears to be a real loss of this quality under Mayor Nickles leadership with regards to this matter.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Anonymous, Seattle, wa, United States of America<p>Andy was always around, visible and approachable. He was a huge booseter for urban golf. A good listener and forthcomming about the status of golf in Seattle. He knew waht was needed to improve the golf experience and worked to accomplish that. I do not know Mr. Wilkerson, but getting a life long bureaucrat with no knowledge of golf course management does not seem to be a good idea. If management cannot work out the differences between them and Andy, they should look at how well they manage.</p>]]></description>

Why doesn&#039;t the parks dept. keep people who have performed well rather than continually seeking the most inexperienced person - this is not any different than the handling of SDOT fiasco and in the end, after this new person screws things up, we will be looking for the person who made this appointment&#039;s head. Why don&#039;t we do it now instead of waiting until the mess is created.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[MR conrad uno, seattle, wa, United States of America<p>As an avid golfer in seattle all my life, the improvements at the local golf courses in the last few years have been inspiring.  I love playing golf in town, where as before I would travel an hour or more to play better maintained facilities.<br />
Since mr. soden took over operations I felt proud to play the seattle municipal courses!<br />
I am truly worried that we will lose this part of the asset and this feeling of quality without<br />
someone at the helm who understands the product.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Patrick DiStefano, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>Enough emphasis cannot be put on the need for a director of golf with deep knowledge and respect for the game itself.  While there are tasks required of the position which may not require it, too much of the job demands that golf experience and history.  Meaningful support for anyone lacking that experience will simply be lost, along with the quality of experience for the user/client/golfer.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dr. Steve Melson, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>I am a member of the Bayview men&#039;s club at West Seattle.  I have seen the improvement in the course, in maintenance and pro shop staff and service.  This course is a city gem and with further development, especially a driving range and improvements in the clubhouse, would see significant recognition and use; it has the potential to host more tournaments and corporate outings.  Mr. Soden should be reinstated to continue and fulfill his excellent work on behalf of all the Seattle Municipal courses</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Edward (Ted) Irwin, Seattle, WA, United States of America<p>From my perspective, we lost a strong ally in Andy Soden.  Foremost in my mind is the continuing threat to the maintenance of the golf course(s).  The city nedds to know that our membership (nearly 800 strong) is disappointed by the dismissal, and deserve an explanation.<br />
If the city begins to treat municipal golf as a category that wields to the budget sword, then we all pay with poorer facilities and a weaker municipality that may lose the integrity of these bastions of health &amp; recreation.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[dr. sue shields, Seattle, wa, United States of America<p>How dare you remove an expert in his field and put in someone who knows nothing about a very popular sport in the city--what is wrong with this picture???  Who has paid you off to do this kind of move-there is enough wrong with the city already without this happening</p>]]></description>
