The War over Spring Creek Golf Course

 

Want to play nine holes of golf in Colbert County? Try Spring Creek Golf Course in Tuscumbia. It's nearby, affordable, and...still open for the moment.

Do Mayor Underwood and some council members want to shut down this popular course to make way for an RV park? Why would you eliminate a city perk popular with citizens to cater to outsiders? Oh, more money...okay.

One story is that Tiffin Motor Homes supports this. The company's customers have far too few places to stay while waiting their turn for repairs. Of course, these tourists will spend big bucks while in Tuscumbia. 

There's a council meeting tonight in Tuscumbia to discuss future plans for the course. Want to bet Mayor Underwood isn't too popular right now with his city's duffers?

An even more interesting tale is that Underwood has rattled a murder hornet's nest of potential candidates to run against him in the next legislative election. You can be sure there will be much more on this later.
