The owners of the Queens golfers will be able to say "fore" for many more years.
The city is set to ink a new 15-year lease with the owners of a popular pitch-and-putt course in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, officials said.
The owners of the Flushing Meadows Golf Center will either pay a flat six-figure licensing fee or a percentage of their profits to the Parks Department for each year of the agreement.
The terms of the agreement are to be discussed at a Franchise and Concession Review Committee hearing March 8 in Manhattan, said Jason Post, a spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg.
"We serve the city and the Parks Department very, very well with everything that we do," said Norman Tafet, whose company, Flushing Golf Corp., runs the pitch-and-putt course.
Tafet and his son, Michael, operate five of the city's 13 public golf courses, including the Douglaston Golf Course and the Van Cortlandt Golf Course in the Bronx. Their 12-year lease with the city for the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park facility expires on May 1.
If the new agreement is approved, Tafet would pay either a minimum of $180,000 in licensing fees to the city in its first year, or 25% of the course's greens fees and 9% of its food and merchandise grosses, whichever is greater, Parks officials said. will either pay a flat six-figure licensing fee or a percentage of their profits to the Parks Department for each year of the agreement.The terms of the agreement are to be discussed at a Franchise and Concession Review Committee hearing March 8 inManhattan, said Jason Post, a spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg.
