Some people want to politicize everything. It happens heavy on both sides, although each side says the other does it way worse than the other side.

FWIW, I'll still golf Coldwater. Luckily for them this happened towards the end of the golf season and by next spring will be mostly forgotten.
The clerk at the Lincoln Way Casey's was murdered when I was in school. Casey's initially lost some business but it came back. I'm guessing this will be a similar story.

I would have no problem golfing there now but I'm going to have trouble letting my daughter go anywhere by herself for a long time.
I don't think Celia would want those of us that golf to quit golfing. We have a famous alum who experienced similar trauma, and he faced it the way you should I think...

I saw a brief comment yesterday that stated Celia's family had commented something along the lines of "given the opportunity to do it all over again she would". Can anybody link where this came from?
The golf coach mentioned it at the end of this video.
Practice at Coldwater but their hosting course is Harvester. I think it's been at least 5 years.
Wow, thank you. "...if we had this to decide all over again we would still send her to Iowa State." Typed that through tears. Ugh.
Big difference between grabbing a fountain drink vs dedicating 4 years of your life to a school and sport and then playing that sport where one of your close teammates died violently. I think eventually they will get past it, but right now, I don't blame them a bit for not wanting to be anywhere near Coldwater.
Keep in mind you have a significantly higher statistical chance of being in a fatal car accident than something like this happening.
This year had to be a bit different because Harvester was closed all summer for renovations. They are turning into a private club.
