A Hilly, Public Golf Course Is Often Used by Sledders

question 99

Essay

A hilly, public golf course is often used by sledders in the winter. One of the sledders was quoted as saying, "This is public property, so we have just as much a right to be on these hills as anyone else. Besides, when it snows, golfers can't use the course anyway. Sledding doesn't harm anything." Is he correct? Why or why not?
