At the west end of the large vacant lot on Central Avenue in downtown Naples, between 10th and 12th streets, Harry Miller stood over a bag of golf balls and held a black Taylor-Made pitching wedge. He faced east, looking across the 8.8-acre property and its yellowing grass. He aimed toward the makeshift pin that he and his friend set up, using a wooden stake and a plastic bag, about 100 yards away.
“They mow the grass pretty good out here,” Miller said before he flubbed his wedge shot.
Miller has been coming to the lot at 1075 Central Avenue to hit golf balls since 2010, after the old Naples Daily News building was torn down. The property was later sold to a company that planned a commercial development with more than 200 condominium units.
The project was approved by the Naples City Council last March, but is now on hold after a local builder, Jon Rubinton from Lotus Construction, was removed from the company’s list of managers in October.
