GET INVOLVED

Sharp Park is in imminent danger.  Anti-golf activists are attacking the Rec & Park Department's Nov. 6 report that recommends a win-win plan to save the 18-hole golf course with some modifications to preserve the habitat for frog and snake species. 

The San Francisco Public Golf Alliance and our Honorary Chairman Ken Venturi call upon all golfers to encourage the Board of Supervisors to preserve Alister MacKenzie's 18-hole course by attending public meetings, contacting public officials and donating their support in any way they can.
