Need to absolutely nail a safety justification. Tips?

First, I have searched for a similar question and was unable to locate one. If I missed it, my apologies.

I fly golf courses from time to time and I am talking with the owner of one that is right next to an airport. For those interested, see KMYR (Class C) and Whispering Pines golf course right across the street. Obviously, this one is in a 0' cell and very close to the terminal. I've submitted a few safety justifications so far but this is different due to its close proximity.

Typically, I mention what I am doing and that I will be flying at a max altitude of 75' AGL, will have a VO, use anti-collision lighting and will monitor ATC/CTAF. So far, the requests have been successful. In this scenario, I see the max altitude being 50' AGL (which is sufficient). Something that might be helpful is that there is a 124' tower on the northeast corner of the golf course property. Google Maps shows the closest point where the would be aircraft ground traffic at 1,100 feet from taxiway to property line.

If you were to look at this potential flight, can you think of anything that would be useful to add to the safety justification that would help?

Many thanks.
