Golf course that called the police on black women loses business, faces call for state investigation
Washington Post ^ | 4/28/2018 | Rachel Siegel

In the days after white golf course owners called the police on five African American women they said were not playing fast enough, a Pennsylvania state senator has called for an investigation into the incident and the club is losing local business.

On April 21, the women were told by owners and employees of the Grandview Golf Course in York County, Pa., that they were taking too long. The club offered to refund their memberships and then called 911.

First, why allow a fivesome to tee off in the first place. Second, the article doesn't mention that the ladies decided to "take a break" in the middle of the round, but not allow the group behind to play through. The article doesn't mention the time they were taking to play holes, but that fact is known. Why didn't Rachel ask? Third, "membership"? The original article did NOT mention membership, but rather green fees...huge difference. Get it right, Rachel. Finally, Senator Hughes decided to make a photo op out of the story.

Why do black people not have to abide by the same rules everyone else does?

I played golf with two 12-year-olds once. The golfers behind us were livid, but they never just asked ‘Could we play through?” That would have helped. However, I knew we were in the wrong. Did these women pay any attention to others??

ANOTHER George Soros production. Did they loiter in a Starbucks and get free coffee afterwards?

Eternal victim class; several others seeking same category. What happens when the white race becomes the “minority?” New classification system begins. White people should migrate back to Europe and kick out the trash, and in the end, save the homeland. Oh well, won’t happen.Or retreat to the North, given people of color claim they’re people of the sun while whites, are, well, ice cold, pale and, you know, racist.

What they should probably do is clearly post the maximum time allowed for each hole. Of course, every self-described victim is going to find any reason they can to call everyone else a villain because of their own failures.

This is the jay walking scenario. I know the rules but choose to impose on the man.

..........most people that have played a lot of golf over many years are, sooner or later, holding “others” up and are asked to play faster or let the people behind you play through.

............BUT, I can see it now. “yalls shut the F up................we’ll play when we get good and ready.................so F U !!!”

Most scorecards now include “recommended time to this point” information.

Golf etiquette would dictate you allow faster players to "play through".

There was the case of the black women who got kicked off the Wine Train in Napa for making a scene. They made out with beaucoup bucks.

Sounds like a bunch of black racists looking to act badly then blame whites. Typical.

Golf is all about etiquette and rules. I learned that early on playing with my Dad. Some folks will never get that, nor will they care. Most clubs I know will not let a five some tee off.

Once the blacks show up at a business, it’s doomed.

Either they are asked to abide by the rules, like everyone else, and stage some “boycott” type incident, like here.

Or they are allowed to take over and run amuck, running off all your other customers in the process.

It’s a a lose/lose proposition. As long as there are two sets of rules in this country, you might as well just start to close shop once you’ve attracted a sizeable number of blacks.
