{{TB|Citizens of Springfield, thanks to little Lisa Simpson and er…bigger Professor Frink, I have closed one of the loopholes that the city elites have long exploited.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Quimby}}
{{TB|Starting today, commercial establishments will now pay property taxes equivalent to those paid by private citizens. This being retroactive to ten years ago.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Quimby}}
{{TB|The increased revenue will afford our city a new, publicly funded golf course — Springfield Municipal Golf Course, that is open to all.}}
{{Tapped Out TV Icon|Quimby}}
{{TB|Elites be damned!}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'm so proud of you, Lisa!}}

{{TB|Mother? You decided to annoy me in person?}}
{{Tapped Out Rose Quimby Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|That's what mothers are for. Now what is this stunt all about?}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Sly}}
{{TB|This stunt is more of a scheme.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|It would certainly be a shame if the country club suddenly owed millions in back taxes and were driven completely out of business.}}
{{Tapped Out Rose Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|That WOULD be a shame.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|Naturally, if one of their members happened to be an influential politician, I'm sure this entire mess could have been avoided.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|{{*}}knocking on the door{{*}} I was asked to evaluate the new law for the Springfield Glen Country Club, and it appears they are now on the hook for millions in back taxes.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|They would like to let you know that they have decided to allow members of the public to play on their course, with only one exception.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|What exception would that be?}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|No one currently holding an elected position within the city of Springfield is allowed a membership position…Mr. elected Mayor.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|So it's hardball, eh? I can play that.}}

{{TB|The new municipal course is great. Not too fancy. It's perfect for weekend duffers like us.}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|Yeah, it's nice. I might even become a weekday duffer.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon}}
{{TB|Only problem — the driving range is pointed right at the Springfield Glen clubhouse. I think I hit a couple rich guys this morning.}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon}}
{{TB|Sorta makes golfin' fun.}}
{{Tapped Out Lenny Icon}}
{{TB|And the greens fees at the Muni are so cheap, it's gotta be killing the fancy club's memberships.}}
{{Tapped Out Carl Icon}}
{{TB|Along with the balls from the driving range taking some out too.}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon}}
{{TB|{{*}}laughs{{*}} Say where's Homer? He usually likes to laugh along with us jerks.}}

{{TB|I'm an avid golfer…if playing a round every ten years is avid.}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon}}
{{TB|So, have you played at either of the two courses that are now in Springfield?}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon}}
{{TB|No. With all the hurricanes, earthquakes, and global this-or-that, I'm through being out in nature…unless it's eating al fresco.}}

{{TB|There. Inside voice. Now what is it you want, Aristotle?}}
{{Tapped Out Aristotle Amadopolis Icon}}
{{TB|It's quite simple. I want your tee time all to myself.}}
{{Tapped Out Mr. Burns Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|It'll never happen. It's been my tee time for five decades, and it'll be my tee time for another five after I die. Which I don't ever plan on doing!}}
{{Tapped Out Aristotle Amadopolis Icon}}
{{TB|How about you and I make a little wager then, Montgomery?}}
{{Tapped Out Smithers Icon|Nervous}}

{{TB|Sir, I urge you to reconsider.}}
