"This is the first time we've had any negative comments," Watts said. "So many people have come in and said, 'What a unique way to put that out there so people don't forget.' "We'll do something next year. I guarantee you it won't be this, but we will not give up and will not stop trying to remind people of 9/11." The golf course's Facebook page said officials were considering closing the course Wednesday. "We are now worried about what people will do/say to our staff & do not want anything to happen or get out of control. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone," the post read.
