Buy our first home? Or....
$1.1M FOR A TILLINGHAST

It should be clear that I am no financial analyst. But the price for these golf courses that get posted all over social media always astounds me.
In a world where the average home price around us in San Diego is 33% higher than an entire golf course by one of the country's most prominent architects... something is up.
So I did some digging. Well, I read an article actually.
And the article outlined that the course I'm describing here, Erie Golf Course in NW Pennsylvania, is currently being operated on a five-year deal by 7637 Enterprises. The deal ends in 2024, thus the pending sale.
Let's play a game, how much do you think Millcreek Township earns from this golf course per year?
If it's selling for over a million dollars, I would've guessed at least six figures. Again, not a "finance" guy.
I would've been gravely wrong.
$37,000.
That's it.
And the article explains that they actually expect to run a $160,000 deficit thanks to repairs. Oof.
All this to say, anyone want to go in together on this course? I've got some pretty killer AI renderings to guide the development.
#200 approaches...
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
As I teased at the start, the countdown to Breakfast Balls Issue #200 is on!
To say I know EXACTLY what I'm doing for it would be a biiiiiiiit of a stretch. But what I do know is that I'll need your help because it will feature a heavy dose of you—the readers.
So over the next few issues, I'll end each week with a simple question or prompt for you to answer. I'll choose some of my favorites to feature in the 200th issue and have some handsome prizes for those who make the cut!
Last week I asked: What is one golf-themed phrase that doesn't exist? And I have already taken a few of your submissions out for a spin—fantastic work, people.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION
What are your favorite three sources (besides BB) for golf news and/or entertainment? (Videos, podcasts, websites, publications, social accounts, etc.)
And I ask this because, I need to know the competition. So I swear to God if you all tell me that you read Alex Myers at Golf Digest... I'm going to lose it.
