Golfers deserve six months credit for playing on substandard courses

Let’s do away with political signage and other personal paraphernalia on golf carts and clothing on the course and court. Feel free to show your views on your flagpole, car bumpers, and other places you so desire. Many of us want to relax and get away from it all during our sporting times. Of course, you’ll say I have the freedom to express myself as I choose.
