It doesn't matter so much the 'cost of the ticket' per say, but rather the culture. Golf in the United States has a distinctly elitist culture. No one ever said anything about ticket prices. Try talking football or NBA in a blue collar neighborhood and you won't have much trouble getting takers; try floating golf however and you get strange looks.
As for children and their interests. I think I'd much rather have their interests perked in worthy intellectual pursuits than golf, or sports in general for that matter. | Yes, indeed, that is why we have such a high mortality rate, and over weight children. All work and no play indeed makes for a very "tilted" view of life. It is no wonder that secular humanism believes that the mind is to be worshiped. Deny the body, and all we have left is a perverted outlook on life. I would rather think that the Obamas of the world and the limo liberals that always condescendingly look down their noses at the other 90% of the population with their IVY LEAGUE, trust funded education is by far a more superior example of the an elitist attitude than some sporting contest. As clearly, they care more about the limo owner than the limo driver. After all we common people just do not understand, that we do not understand that Marxism is by far a better example of social living than free choice. We just do not know any better, I assume. Even though there has never been an historical example of pure socialism working without being corrupted, by the few that feel they must inform the majority of how to live. BD
