I love golf! Ever since I was introduced to it by a co-worker and a cheap set of golf clubs.
I remember watching Tiger Woods winning the 1997 Masters and Jack Nicklaus’ last stroke at St. Andrews.
Lately, the PGA Tour has chosen to interject themselves into the “social justice” business. From saving tee times for George Floyd while saving none for the fallen heroes of the law enforcement community.
They made the decision to play tournament golf in states that are currently under strict Covid-19 restrictions. Meanwhile, common folks in those same states can’t go to work, visit family in nursing homes, attend funerals, go out without having to wear a useless mask (by the CDC 2018 study). Meanwhile, the cities have been burned down to the ground by bands of thugs, by the same “social justice” crowd the PGA Tour is pandering to.
While the PGA Tour wants to lecture Americans on so called “injustices”, we still have hundreds, if not thousands, of golf courses in America where a Hispanic like me is not allowed to play.
This week the United States Golf Association is hosting the United States Open at Winged Foot G.C., a private club where a person like me would be confused for a locker room attendant. Playing our national championship in a private golf course is an irony, especially when it is supposed to be a tournament open to everyone, even a Hispanic like me.
I would like to ask the PGA Tour if they are going to fight for me. Are they going to get me some “social justice”, so a Hispanic like me can play in private golf courses like Cypress Point, Oakmont, Winged Foot, Augusta National, or the likes?
Probably not! For the PGA Tour “social justice” means pandering from afar. Giving the appearance of caring, but without getting more involved than required. Enough for them to feel good about themselves and enough to fool you.
In the meantime, this Hispanic who proudly served his country for 29 years, didn’t loot and didn’t burned down businesses, is going to keep playing public and semi-private clubs until private clubs allow a guy like me to play their courses and stop their discriminatory practices endorsed by the PGA Tour.
This is the hypocrisy of the PGA Tour!
