The former county commissioner who is part of the management of the golf course has always been known for having as much diplomacy and tact as a f@rt in a sauna.

He was disowned by the GOP when he publicly endorsed Tom Wolf for PA Governor. He then tried to run as an independent and garnered less than 5% of the vote.

The leading complainant is a perennial candidate for Judge who has been rated "unqualified" or "not yet qualified" by the York County Bar Association. This isn't the first time that she has played the race card and it won't be the last.

As Shakespeare said, "a plague on both your houses".

Liberals are perpetually outraged.

Then again - what else is new?

In so many ways, social media is a curse.

Its all Trump’s fault.

For black female golfers being booted off a golf course he doesn’t even own.

Pity the wrong golf course accused of wayccism!

Isn’t a group which is playing too slowly rude to the other golfers?

Somebody threatened to ‘burn down the golf course!”.
How does one ‘burn down’ an open patch of land?

-—Thompson wrote on Facebook that they felt were being discriminating against.-—

Well, if she “felt” there was discrimination - then it MUST be true!

As Dr. Ben Carson once said: “When all your life you’ve had special treatment, being treated fairly seems like discrimination.”. Very true.

Five is a pretty large group to get behind. I'm familiar with the problem as my group tended to be slower; we started on kids' day which more seasoned golfers knew and we let a lot of faster people play through. That was days of walking the course for almost everyone.

I was never "kicked" off the course but perhaps should have been for losing my temper a few times and damaging the fairway (not a green).

Whatever happened, it sounds like the manager made a terrible blunder especially wth black people. He could have pursued other options like maybe asking them nicely to play in groups of 4 and odd person assigned to another groupl

Sometimes we had to get assigned to "short" groups when we paid our greens fees.

I hope the injured party can be somewhat understanding and not exploit their victimhood to the hilt.

Like Prince's heirs are currently doing. Six of them. A week before his final overdose, his plane made an emergency landing at Moline Airport, took him to Trinity. He was given 2 doses of something for an overdose. Sounds like they saved his life.

They wanted to admit him and word is that he insisted on an entire floor. The hospital offered him a private room and recommended he remain for treatment. He declined and flew back to MN.

I don't know what the involvement of Walgreens the hospital pharmacy was.

How such suits seem to work, find the deepest pockets and sue. Then the hospital and other party have to figure what it would cost their attorneys to defend the suit.

So they offer a settlement and maybe sweeten it up a bit rather than gamble that a jury would side in their favor and they have to pay the amount sued for plus court costs and legal fees of the suing parties' attorneys.

Nasty business. Someone will likely advise, if not already, the aggrieved girls to sue the deepest pockets.

Which has me wondering if you own anything of value, you arrange your affairs to protect yourself from deep-pockets vampires and frivolous lawsuits. LLC is one way. It's all gotten so ugly.

"Please stop calling the police on black people who are just trying to live,"

That's so ironic. A good thing that this golf course was not in Chicago. Nevertheless, I have a pretty good suspicion that they WERE "lagging". There was zero tact in management and who knows maybe this was racial. I really don't care. I give it that and we now need crisis management to handle protected class people.

Personally, I would have taken the refund and gone to a different course.

But I grew up in Queens, NY and the only courses were publicly owned and this would not have happened but we had to wait 2 hours to play a 6 hour round.

“We’ve had phone calls of people just screaming at us,” Beeler said. “They won’t even pause to let us explain that we’re not the one, that they called the wrong place.”

That is the nature of all Liberals.

Let me guess. If the group behind them had asked if they could play through, that would have been racist too.

Were they playing as a fivesome? If so and playing slow they should either speed up or leave. Nothing worse than waiting 30 mins between holes.

The Grandview Golf Club in North Braddock has been deflecting outraged comments on social media all day Tuesday intended for the Grandview Golf Course in York.

All them golf courses look the same.

They were the only African Americans or all-female groups on the course in Dover Township, according to Sandra Thompson

I'm always suspicious when one of the complainants makes a claim like this.

As though they had drone footage to prove it.

(Of course, they know that it's practically unfalsifiable.)

Regards,
