It's not that complicated.
There's that word "emotion" worked into your post again! I think you are trying to sound intelligent. You must have read something recently about "emotional" responses vs. "intellectual." Unfortunately, you don't know how to discern the difference. Everything seems to be an "emotional response" to you.

I also think you are a "wannabe" writer, with no writing skills. You should also learn how the forum works. You confuse people when you always respond only to the OP, and not directly to a particular post by another. Someone reading one of your posts, who has not followed every post in sequence, has no idea what you are talking about.

Here in Michigan we have had the coldest summer I ever remember.

The furnace has ran more than the air conditioner.

I do see the last link was from 2013.

I`m not sure but I think Republicans play golf too. Boehner probably has a lot of rounds played in the last 5 weeks that he`s been on vacation.

There are so many threads about golf these days. I guess golf is the top subject in the echo chamber. When right wing radio speaks, the forum reverberates. In any case, keep in mind that Obama is not playing alone. His foursome includes captains of industry, CEO's, bankers, and lobbyists. They are plotting a better America for you and me.

Take heart all you golf haters.....:

U.S. Golf Course Closures Exceed Openings for Eighth Year - Bloomberg

They're attempting to revitalize the game by installing larger 15" cups in the greens AND moving to a kick-ball type of golf where something akin to a soccer ball is kicked from it's own tee box around a course with number of kicks being counted as strokes.

Golf dying out due to cost of running and maintaining courses is a very distinct possibility.

Carving golf courses out of the Arizona desert then watering the damn things constantly to encourage a paltry grass cover over desert gravel that ruins your club if you take a divot just doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever if you're running out of water and value the game at all.

I wonder when they will stop using precious water on golf courses in the drought stricken southwest and Kali? It seems a bit obscene to have those verdant swathes of grass in the middle of deserts while farmers and ranchers can't get the water they need. But I guess the residents can eat golf balls if they get hungry.

It's kind of the same general scheme they have planned for solving AGW. Substitute water on the golf course for the privilege of using carbon dioxide producing materials. The 1%'s are all for saving the planet by restricting your life as long as it doesn't impact their lifestyle. This is why thinking folks should question golf courses and AGW/ACC/unicorn farms.

Getting away from the 'Obama golfs' side-show...

It is foolish for the Southwestern states to continue to build golf courses and fountains when they are in a drought of Biblical proportions. It's foolish to continue to drive huge trucks or SUVs back and forth to an office job when gas is so costly. It is foolish to argue about petty politics in the face of obvious and growing issues instead of working to solve them.

But that's humanity for you...

I wonder what would happen if Obama took up shooting and started collecting guns? I am guessing the Tea Party would come out on the side of restricting ownership of guns. Maybe the Tea Party can run on "Tea Partiers against golf courses" in 2016.
