Rumors
Yes, I have a question for the PGA. I recently went to a local club in the Yellowleaf area, and was barred from playing on their course. I was told it was because of the cleats I had, but I think it was due to my affiliation with PLATO. I offered to buy a pair of regulation shoes, but they told me the club store was closed due to some obscure holiday or something. I thought this kind of small-minded discrimination was a thing of the past. We PLATO members have gone a long way to better our image among the community. The rest of society has left the past and their ignorant ancestors behind - why hasn't the golf community?
sincerely, The Shunned PLATOan
I've been trying to figure out what order Sir Codric used to father a child. It's nice to know the game has more depth than I thought, but I think that anyone who discovers such an important feature (bug???) should share it with all of us.
BELCHHH!!!
