While we are at the confessional, any one out there who might have sought political favor to gain a competitive advantage and win a government contract? No one has asked for "guidance" on what the competitors were bidding? What about hosting a round of golf for employees of a company with whom we hope to do business with.
I wonder how many golf course employees pull a new sleeve of balls from the display rack before they go out to play? Of course, no one in the pro shop ever hands the keys to the golf cart to family and friends without ringing the cash register.
Towels, combs, the very occasional shoe horn (my personal peccadillo, but never without first asking permission from the club) are all very small potatoes in comparison to what gets pilfered at most clubs. During my time at Ohio State, a very affable, charming woman in the shop was found to have embezzled thousands of dollars from the club over several years. Here in Texas, a supertintendent at my former club in cahoots with a supplier stole tens of thousands for phantom supplies.
Might this be the exception to being just a little big pregnant? At least members pay communally for what they steal individually.
Bill McBride,
I've bought cheap ($2-$3) hand towels at Walmart that are great for the golf course.
Roger Wolfe,
Well, during my visit you should have gained one of the green towels. I prefer green and I lose them regularly.
