Pennsylvania golf club apologized after calling police on black women members for playing too slow

 

 

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/pennsylvania-golf-club-apologized-calling-police-black-women-members-playing-slow-232231330.html

 

 

 

The Grandview Golf Club in York, Pennsylvania, has apologized after it called the police on a group of black women after the co-owner and his father said the five-some was playing too slowly and refused to leave the course.
The women — who are all members at the golf club — were told they were not keeping the pace of play on just the second hole by former York County Commissioner Steve Chronister, who claimed to be the owner of the club. They claimed they were keeping pace with the group ahead of them, and talked with the golf pro at the course after Chronister confronted the group. They claimed the golf pro said they were fine.
“I felt like we were discriminated against,” Myneca Ojo, one of the women in the group, told the York Daily Record. “It was a horrific experience.”
After finishing the first half of their round, three members of the group decided to leave “because they were so shaken up by the incident.” The two who stayed to finish the round were then approached by Chronister, his son Jordan and several other white, male employees, who told them they had five minutes to leave the club and that police had been called. The reasoning, they said, was that they had taken too long of a break on the turn.
Jordan Chronister, who identified himself as the co-owner, was “aggressive, confrontational and condescending,” to the group, the women said.
The police arrived, conducted interviews with all parties, and left without charging anyone, saying that the “issue did not warrant any charges.”
JJ Chronister, Jordan’s wife and co-owner of the club, said she reached out to the group on Sunday to apologize and that she wanted to meet with the women in person.
“We sincerely apologize to the women for making them feel uncomfortable here at Grandview, that is not our intention in any way,” she told the York Daily Record. “We want all of our members to feel valued and that they can come out here and have a great time, play golf and enjoy the experience.”
The five women are part of a group in the area known as the “Sisters in the Fairway,” a group of very experienced golfers who play all over the country.
After they were confronted on the second hole, the women said they skipped the third hole to avoid any other issues.
“[steve] said, ‘You’re going too slow, I’ll give you a refund,’ as if he didn’t want us as members,” Sandra Thompson, one of the women in the group, said of the confrontation on the front nine. “I said, ‘Do you realize we’re the only black women on this course, and you’re only coming up to us? We paid, we want to play.’ He walked off in a huff.”
JJ Chronister issued a second statement to the paper on Monday to explain why the police were even called in the first place, saying the group had violated their rules listed on the club’s scorecard.
“In the past players who have not followed the rules, specifically pace of play, have voluntarily left at our request as our scorecard states,” JJ Chronister told the York Daily Record. “In this instance, the members refused to leave so we called police to ensure an amicable result. The members did skip holes and took an extended break after the 9th hole. We spoke with them once about pace of play and then spoke with them a second time. During the second conversation we asked members to leave as per our policy noted on the scorecard, voices escalated, and police were called to ensure an amicable resolution.”
JJ Chronister had not yet met with the women as of Monday, however Thompson said they aren’t looking for a fast, simple solution. There’s a bigger problem here than them just getting kicked off the golf course, she said.
“We’re interested in getting long-term resolution, not short-term resolution,” Thompson said. “We’re not looking at surface or quick fixes, because surface or quick fixes doesn’t fix the mindset of what led to this.
“There needs to be something more substantial to understand they don’t treat people in this manner.”

So much stupid here its hard to know where to start. But lets dive in.

 

1. The club is racist... but they allowed you to be members.

 

2. Going out to pick out the (presumably only) group of black women on the course to b!tch at? Yeah... that was a good PR play.

 

3. If Im the cops, and a country club calls in complaining about pace of play issues, Im thinking the response is something along the lines of go fock yourself.

 

4. Three members left the course because they were shaken up. It was a horrific experience. Holy hyperbole Batman! Someone asked you to leave! Better get a therapy animal.

 

5. Sisters on the fairway? Yeah... I think Id have standing orders at the clubhouse to never have a tee time anywhere near theirs.

 

I also wager that whatever problems hacked the owner off predate this incident. I wager there have been complaints from other members for noise, pace of play, what have you. Now being a country club, its certainly possible theyre all racist focks. Who the hell knows, or quite frankly gives a fock.

Fock the twosome. If the ass holes had more friends they wouldn't have to wait for the group ahead of them. Keep the faith sisters, keep the faith.

Played 18 last Saturday in a group of four (scores ranged from 85 to 90). Took 3:45, including a stop at the turn for dogs and drinks. One guy had to poop as well.

 

I hate slow play.

Also, if they are experienced golfers, why the fock are they playing a 5'some..

 

You split that sh!t up and play in smaller groups..

 

This story makes me want to punch people.

I'm okay with a 5 some, Won't take any longer than waiting for as 3 and a 2 before you. Probably faster if they don't suck

Agree across-the-board

I'm guessing that both sides were being dumbasses. This little Ya-Ya sisterhood of golfing Beyonce's probably have a stick up their ass because they play all over so they think they own the course when they come on.

 

But the course sounds equally ridiculous to have the police show up over slow play.

Gonna agree with you here. If anything id ask the ladies to let us play through. Common courtesy if a 2some is always waiting behind a 5some is to let them through (always let people play through when it was 4 of us). But still, law being called out for that is incredibly stupid and hope the guys who called the cops were ticketed

Club rule: you can be asked to leave due to slow play. The group was warned. Then they were asked to leave. They refused. What recourse does the club have?

Anyone that has played a decent amount of golf knows you cant really go after a group for slow play on only the second hole. Any scenario where this is reasonable would be such an outlier that it would be mentioned in the story.

I'm guessing the group behind them saw they were playing 5 and immediately were pissed.

 

But yea, that's way too early to complain about slow play, it would have to be extremely blatant.

I agree for the most part, although at some super slow pace you might be able to tell on the second hole. Reality summed it up in the previous post.

I'd rather be stuck behind one group of five than a three and a two.

Not sure I get that, with tee times and good pace of play the 3 & 2 should move along just fine.

 

Now, if the tee times are stacked up and not enough of a stagger, I'd agree.

 

Some place do 8 minute staggers.. Can get bunched up quick, the club I play at is 12, runs nice and smooth for the most part.

And I know this is the way it is but I still hate it. When you show up with two or three guys and they force you to play with some stranger to make a foursome.

 

I'm just wanting to have a nice afternoon with my buddies and here I've got to talk to Joe Schmo and be cordial when nobody wants him there.

 

And he's always that a****** that breaks out the range binoculars but then can't hit it within 50 yards of where he wants to go.

If tee times are 10 mins apart.

 

and the 5 tee off at 9 am.

 

and I tee off at 9:20 how will that be slower than waiting for a 3 to tee off at 9 and a 2 to tee off at 9:10?

Don't hit me with this logic and sh!t. 4 or less in your group, it has been written.

 

No math please.
