Do Democrats play golf?

[HFishbine]

1. Interesting

I switched to independent shortly after learning golf. Hmmmmm.

(Of couse, I swithced because the NC democratic party is anything but progressive.)

[Praline]

2. Well, my bubble burst with this one!

I think it's an elitist crock, but I have a lot of very liberal friends who play golf. ewwwww What's next? Polo?

3. My dad absolutely loved golf

and the Democratic Party. He just died last year at 79, so ...

4. And where do Dems that play, play golf?

My husband plays, but on public courses. Could never afford to join a country club......nor would he want to......nor can he afford the tony fees at the swankier places.

5. My dad always played on public courses. For one thing,

he was Catholic, and up until he was in his 50s or so, he couldn't have gotten into a club anyway.

He was so loved by the workers at the city course he played at that many were at his memorial service.

6. Even public/municipal courses aren't always cheap

Playing a round on the weekend with green fees and a cart can easily set you back $50. That's not counting beer, the golf balls you lose in the woods or the water, or the $200 golf club that you smash on a tree trunk after hitting ANOTHER crappy shot into the woods.x(

7. You can go round for $50.00?

with a cart!
must be nice.
runs a little closer to $80.00+ around here but just so you know, even Greens play golf. At least this one does.

8. Wasn't this just posted?

Dupe of a thread from earlier this week, isn't it?

9. My socialist leaning dad does

He votes democratic.

10. I play. Look for me on the Austin Munis!

I can play a round (no cart - I walk mostly) for under 20 bucks. Anybody that gives me that elitist crap is gonna get a sand wedge up the hooha! :P

11. In a manner of speaking, yes

hit it
go find it
hit it again

That's something like golf, right?

on edit: Municipal courses. Greens fees $16.00, have my own pull-cart........

12. I play golf.

[One Taste]

13. Definitely

Golf is great! Don't know why it gets a rep as elitist..it's the people not the game.

14. will work for golf

Muni golf is a totally different thing from country club golf.

Country club golf has this elitist smell and expensive pimento cheeze sandwiches.

My local muni has a great deal, green fee is 12 bucks after 2:00 PM. During the summer it doesn't get dark til 9.

Carts are $18.00 for 18 holes for those who don't realize that golf is a walking game. If you're a democrat or assorted liberal and talk to mrbill who runs the cart barn in the evenings, then you get a discount.

Not a bad course. The front nine was designed by Ralph Plummer. The back nine was designed by Jack Shafer and has some devious Augusta-type greens. On #13 you can putt the ball into the water from the back of the green.

Talk more about the weather than politics.
