They’re Not the Ones Keeping Issue Alive

Thomas Bonk closed his Jan. 9 article on the PGA Tour by noting, “It won’t go away, mainly because the two people at opposite ends of the issue won’t let it. Martha Burk ... has called for protests ... and Hootie Johnson ... isn’t budging on inviting a woman to be a member.” On the same day in a second golf-related article, Bonk devotes, by my count, six out of 16 paragraphs to comments relating to the very same “issue.”

It is painfully apparent that, in reality, this issue continues to persist ad nauseam, not because of Ms. Burk and Mr. Johnson, but because there are so many champions of misguided political correctness within the media, such as Mr. Bonk.
