A man who called police on a group of black women golfers accused of playing too slowly at a Pennsylvania golf club denied to dispatchers that he was acting out of racism.
In one of two recordings of 911 calls to police, the caller says the group was "holding everybody up" and one of the women accused the golf club of racism.
The caller told a dispatcher, "We have a tough situation here with a group of golfers that decides they don't want to abide by the rules."
Asked if the gofers had any weapons, Chronister said: "It's even worse than that, but anyway I can't ..."
He then said no weapons were involved "other than her mouth."
The York Daily Record reports that Chronister told the 911 dispatcher that he knew Thompson.
"She ran for judge. She's an attorney. She knows it all," Chronister said. "She totally thinks we're being racist. We're not being racist. We're being golf course management that has to have play moving a certain way."

The rules are this: non-Whites do not have rules. Whites do. They can do anything, and you are accused of racism if you notice.
let’s get to the elephant in the room.
A certain culture in America tends to take a laissez faire attitude towards rules, laws and the rights of others. I have seen it thousands of times and just about everybody I know has as well.
Lemme guess. They were on that winery tour train with the obnoxious mouths.
If i had been in the shoes of the people being held up I would have tried to do that (Maybe they did, do we know for sure that they didn't? the media doesn't like to report things like that, and we know from the existing reporting that the two sides had words). But Just because they (allegedly) didn't take the best countermeasure doesn't mean the people holding them up weren't at fault. Maybe THEY should have said why don't you play through why is the burden always on white people to get it right. Never black people?
And then the race-baiting liberal brigade will come sue the golf course. And either way your golf outing is ruined by people who have no sense of others rights. I think these people told them to hurry up or let them play through. As the reporting infers the two parties DID speak to each other.
No, we don't know. So why assume the women were in the wrong?
Just tell them; “Slew-footin’ huh? Just like yo’ great-grandpappy did before the Republicans showed up.
Also, multiple sharpened wooden sticks and some projectiles.
We don't know that they didn't ask to play through either.
Either way the black women were the ones going slow and messing it up for the people behind them. Why is it you liberals always put the blame on white people when black people don't follow the rules or don't show basic, common sense, respect for the rights of others?
There are many movie theaters I no longer go to because many black people want to go and talk through the movie.
The other night I attended a graduation. The principal asked people to hold their cheers till all the names were announced so all could be heard . Black families in the audience didn't care they screamed for their kids anyway and the names of kids next to them were not heard.
I've seen this behavior thousands of times and so have others I know.
Those women of color play golf? Isn’t that cultural appropriation?
I’m not an avid golfer, but I understand the rule and why it’s there. I do have a question though. Where are rookies and starters supposed to go to learn the game? I don’t mean the driving range - I mean on a course?
The few times I’ve played I never had to have anyone play through because it was a slower day.
But I’ve never had anyone tell me the answer to those questions that made any sense. Is the answer to just let people play through?
Seems like it would hurt the "girls."
Been there. Then they drop to re-tie both shoes, do some stretches, and then stand up and eye-f*ck you before continuing across the street.
Even if someone hasn’t asked to play through, if they are clearly waiting on you, you should offer to let them play through.
I think most people would do this. (I have done it once or twice in a foursome on golf courses, and mini golf courses when my kids were playing with my wife and I) Probably not these women though. They appear not to have any notion of common sense respect for others.
Allowing faster golfers to play through is the courtesy. I was fortunate in that Mrs. L worked at a golf course and I frequently got to play with some of their pros.
I asked more questions about rules and courtesy than anything else.
It’s also worthwhile to take a couple of lessons.

BLACK ENTITLEMENT
I agree with your comment. Maybe they didn’t know. I have dealt with slow players and my group has been the slow players. Sometimes people on the course are less than tactful... when balls land on the green when you are putting for example. (Been on both sides of that.. lol) but if someone is hitting into you and you don’t know the game as well it can be interpreted as hostile. Never needed to call the police ... I think both sides lost decorum.
The same thing happened on a wine train in Napa recently. The complaint was that the black ladies were too loud and generally disruptive to the peace and quiet most of the other patrons wanted. Someone complained, the ladies were kicked off, and the ladies and the media screamed “racism.”
There is a black subculture that is loud and can be obnoxious to those who prefer that adults carry themselves with dignity. Add to that a black female with an attitude, looking for a chance to shout “racism,” and you have the situation on the golf course and the wine train.
Most people size up the milieu they are in and act according, especially if someone asks them to if they’re being too loud or impolite. They apologize and tone things down. I’m guessing that in this situation on the golf course, and the wine train, the ladies ignored the polite request. Maybe they even got louder in reply, hoping to provoke further.
Imagine them benging over to putt. Ugghh.
Roger that. Just like expecting a black to be able to spell correctly or use the King’s English. Expect some decorum from a black man? You’re racist!
