https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...investigation/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.
“When you see these African American women dealing with this issue, for many people it brings back this very long, very troubled history of racism and sexism, and just the denial of people’s humanity,” said state Sen. Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia/Montgomery County). “It’s 2018.”
On Monday, the club’s co-owner, JJ Chronister, whose husband, Jordan, was one of the people who confronted the women, told the York Daily Record that in the past, “players who have not followed the rules, specifically pace of play, have voluntarily left at our request as our scorecard states. In this instance, the members refused to leave so we called police to ensure an amicable result. … During the second conversation we asked members to leave as per our policy noted on the scorecard, voices escalated, and police were called to ensure an amicable resolution.”
You have a fivesome of obnoxiously slow women who won't pick up the pace or leave the course. Calling the police seems reasonable. Not a racial issue. Women just shouldn't be allowed on the golf course at peak times. Play on ladies day. I am not that old and the course I grew up at didn't allow women before noon.
