Representatives of member companies reaffirmed their commitment to self-regulation within the golf course industry that day. They stated, "We will refrain from raising green fees," and argued that "the government should also abolish regulatory interference, punitive heavy taxation, increased taxes on public courses, and the individual consumption tax."
