You’re worried about golf fees going up? How about, instead of worrying about paying a little more for a worthless leisure activity which, I expect, will not affect you at all, worrying about someone being paid a living wage? How about thinking about someone working a full time job making less than $350 a week before taxes? How does that person pay for shelter, food, clothes, children etc? They aren’t worried about green fees or having their lawn look pretty. Paying someone a living wage isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity for a country that possesses as much wealth as the United States. I, for one, refuse to have any sympathy for someone who’s more worried about the amount they pay for green fees...
