   The cut-out-and-keep coupon for Tumbledown Trails Golf Course's $9.11
   special offer

   By Associated Press

   9:00AM BST 11 Sep 2013

   Comments Comments

   Tumbledown Trails Golf Course in Wisconsin advertised the special offer
   on Monday saying it was meant to commemorate the 12th anniversary of
   the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

   News of the special spread on social media, and the golf course's
   Facebook page was overrun with negative comments.

   Club owner and general manager Marc Watts said that no disrespect was
   intended.

   "We're a little hurt by the fact that people are putting such a
   negative context on this," Mr Watts said. "I thought people would
   appreciate it."

   The promotion began two years ago, on the 10th anniversary, and until
   now was warmly received as a way to ensure people never forget the
   tragedy, Watts said.

   This is not the first time that promotions tied to the anniversary have
   drawn criticism.

   Last year, an Idaho resort offered hotel rooms for $91.11 and a food
   voucher for $9.11 as a "Thank you to our heroes."

   Two years ago, New York Sports Club offered September 11
   first-responders cheap memberships, drawing outrage from some who
   called it a shameless use of a national tragedy to make money.
