Controversy Is One Thing, but Give Fans Some Golf

Want to know one of the reasons why racism is still alive and well in this great country of ours? Just read the following quotes from some of our fellow American golf pros regarding the membership policies of the Shoal Creek Country Club.

Hale Irwin: “I have no comment. Next question.”

Payne Stewart: “I play golf. I don’t make policy.”

Jack Nicklaus: “Old news as far as I’m concerned. We have talked enough about it.”

I wonder what our country would be like if everyone adopted this “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” attitude.
