Golf magazine suggest divorce from Trump.

Golf Digest ran the article but that wasn't a Golf Digest editorial, it was written by John Feinstein. I've read a number of Feinstein's books, and he's an excellent writer, but he's also a huge liberal. And he starts of with saying the reason golf should do this isn't political, but then goes into a litany of left-wing political positions. An argument can definitely be made for why the PGA should move this tournament but as he goes into all his left-wing talking points on other issues he's not helping himself win people over as I see it.

By publishing it, Golf Digest was editorializing it. By publishing any (now known as) op ed piece, a publication is editorializing it.

I'm pretty sure the original grant to use the course for the event was not political in nature, but the decision to refuse to use it, has political overtones. (The decision to rescind the grant to use it has been made.)

Best for golf to separate from Trump.

Best for America to separate from Trump.

Best for humanity to separate from Trump.

Trump is quickly proving to be too radioactive except for the most extreme RW causes....and he'll flock to them.

When will Trump publish his memoirs titled "My Struggle"?

Great cover. Great find, Unk.

Glad the Germans are able to see the connection...even if many Americans are unable...or unwilling.

Golf courses have been poor investments for a long time. They are,however, very good for money laundering. Trump pulled a ton of cash out of Russia and bought a bunch of golf courses for cash. You figure it out. It isn't difficult.

Link?

I have no doubt Putin gave Trump favorable loans. To be legal Trump would have to show it on his taxes, but the optics would look horrible.

I guess I view it this way. Take the WSJ and NY Times for example. They each have an editorial board and put out an “official” position they support with their daily writings or political endorsements. They also have other writers in their opinion section whose views they post/publish but it doesn’t necessarily mean they agree with them.

The editorial folks at Golf Digest may completely agree with Feinstein but I’m saying just because they run the article doesn’t necessarily mean they endorse it.

Lots of people care, RB. Lot of them.

Sorry you think golf sucks, but I take anything you say about sucking seriously. You seem to know the subject.

In other words RB 60 lacks both the physical coordination and mental stamina to play the game. If he played, he would likely suck at it just like tRump does.

Excellent point. The article in question is labeled "opinion" not "Editorial".
 
Hello Frank,

This may not mean much to non-golfers, but Golf Digest editorialized the following:


The PGA of America needs to move the 2022 PGA Championship from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

It needs to announce the decision today and make it very clear: We want nothing to do with soon-to-be-former President Donald J. Trump.

This is no longer a political issue; it is no longer a case of taking a side with one political party or another. This is about a man who encouraged—all but ordered—his supporters to attempt some sort of clumsy coup d’etat on the United States government. This is about a man who, even AFTER finally telling his supporters it was time to leave the U.S. Capitol following one woman’s death and the Capitol building itself—a major part of our country’s history—had been severely damaged, tweeted: “We love you. You’re very special.”

I agree. Golf has a long way to go on the road to equality.

Golf should have nothing to do with Trump.

NASCAR has made huge moves away from racism, and still has a long way to go. Golf needs to step up.

The NFL has embraced BLM, but still refuses to grant women much respect. What the NFL has done to women with their really stupid stance on the NFL cheerleader pay issue is an embarrassment. I hope everyone knows why we stopped seeing cheerleaders on TV. It wasn't because of COVID. It was because cheerleaders had the nerve to suggest they should be paid fairly. Many have ongoing lawsuits with the NFL. The NFL's response has been lackluster at best. Mostly it has been: "We don't need you. You are meaningless and valueless to us. We should all make millions for what we men do, but we had zero problem with paying you less than minimum wage for what you women do."

Part of the NFL's response to the professional NFL cheerleader pay issue was to simply stop showing the cheerleaders on TV.

That's why we stopped seeing them.

Okay healthwise, RB...but I had to stop working for golf operations because of the pandemic...and not working means no free golf at our courses. So...I played no golf at all this year...which sucks.

You still doing okay?

We can't have our pool leagues either. I haven't been to the Fire Co. for months. I'm doing ok too, but the but the car, not so much.
