Bobby Jones has been canceled.
Magnolia!
The Masters is Antebellum Georgia.
Don’t look to that org for anything like social responsibility.
If Sherman had known what they’d become, he’d have made a detour on his March.
The PGA (which technically has about 29,000 members) is about 2% black. The first black player made the tour in 1961.
Only about 3 to 4% of all recreational golfers are black.
I like the concept, but probably better as ChINOs or ChrINOs.
Nope.
It was begun in the 1930s by Bobby Jones, who also planned and created the Augusta National at the same time.
Nothing remotely antebellum about it.
When any entity says shit like that with a long-winded preamble about their commitment to kittens and rainbows, you just know the sell-out is coming.
Bobby Jones has been dead since 1971.
Our side is not stupid. We can use this.
Will he be physically able?
Was that Charlie Sifford? I used to follow Rodriguez, Sifford, Trevino and Elder
And all those Confederate statues went up long after the Civil War.
Antebellum.
It’s the aesthetic I’m talking about, not the actual timing.
Yep. My grandmother (an avid golfer) once played in a pro-am tournament as Trevino’s partner.
Atlanta is like at the center of the Democratic strongholds.
Boycotts inevitably will affect our folks more than the rural Republicans who back this shit.
No simple solution.
Jeremy Bentham has been dead since 1832, but the minutes of the Royal Society still list him as “present, but not voting.”
The Masters has none of that aesthetic either.
It’s a golf tournament played on one of the most physically beautiful courses in the country.
Augusta in the spring is breathtakingly gorgeous.
The English never stop hoping.
I know. I landed my first post-grad job at the RTJ Grand National. My only time ever stepping in that place, btw. Only uppity-ass bankers, lawyers, and general grifters allowed. Proud to say I’m not one of those.
And they have resisted added Black members and women since Time Immemorial.
Magnolia!
Antebellum.
I despise the notion of “Southern Hospitality” for all the same reasons.
It’s the kind of place where “Bless his heart” means “Fuck him!”
Stacey, I’m sure, will use this occasion to register 2x the number of new voters than she did in 2020.
And instead of asking where you’re from or what you do for a living, they ask, “what church do you go to?”
Vetting the heathen and the apostates.
