The Sarasota Herald Tribune reports the “FAA wants driving range near Venice (Florida) airport closed”. It is rather odd to read an airport story from this angle.

“Sarasota golfer Robert Downey said he is concerned that losing the driving range may be the beginning of the end for the golf course.”
