Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden
Looks like Randy Kuhl is not the only one improving his golf game. From PGA.com transcripts:2008 Senior PGA Championship Media Day:
And now, ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to introduce our newly single-digit handicapper in government here, Maggie Brooks, the Monroe County Executive.
Maggie speaks:
Not only will golfers come from around the globe to compete for this prestigious title, but visitors will come from all over the globe to experience the great tournament, but also to experience Rochester and Monroe County and all that we have to offer.
So this really does put us on the map. It’s an economics boost, it is something that we should all be proud of. Monroe County is certainly pleased and honored to be a partner in this endeavor. So I just want to encourage everyone to come out. Tell your friends. Come out and enjoy the tournament here.
Well, Maggie, my darlin, we just had a fabulous event last Saturday night at the Riverside Convention Center with “Newlywed in New York” that put us on the map and that we, in the progressive community, are all very proud of. The economic boost that it could give to Rochester would be great if we could open up this new market to the businesses that cater to weddings.
Golf is great, I’m sure (if you like that kind of thing) and the revenue that it creates for Rochester and Monroe County is significant. But let’s open up our minds and hearts and not look a gift horse in the mouth when it’s staring you in the face.
middle aged white people think golf is the answer to everything. what a joke!
Yes, Newly Wed in New York showed that marriage equality CAN boost the economy … and now that the New York State Court of Appeals decided NOT to hear the Martinez case (breaking news as of this past hour), will Maggie embrace the possibilities or continue with her bigotry and ignore the economic possibilities? Obviously, the courts don’t think she has a legal leg to stand on, with or without golf shoes .
And damned if I didn’t try to find a picture of Maggie in golf shoes to illustrate this post!
