But its use was always to gouge golf balls out of tight spaces....

It was a 365-acre parcel with great, up-and-down, rolling terrain....

Traditional U.S. retailers are on course to close more stores than they did in 2017, when major retail chains closed a record 8,139 stores.

If the pace continues, major retailers could shutter as many as 12,000 stores by year-end, Coresight forecasts.
