Clinton turned down at golf course
February 24th, 2006An Australian golf course refused to allow Bill Clinton to play because the club pro thought the call he received from Clinton’s people was a hoax, and said the course was too full.
Mr Dixon only found out yesterday that the call was authentic. “I just did what I thought was right at the time, but if I had’ve known it was legit, we would definitely have found room,” he said.
Medway Golf Club chief executive officer Noel Stringer said he would write to Mr Clinton to explain why he was knocked back.
“We don’t want to be known as the club who snubbed Bill Clinton,” Mr Stringer said.
Thanks to Jeremy for the link.
“We don’t want to be known as the club who snubbed Bill Clinton.”
WHY NOT??? If I was running a business that sounds like something I would want to be known for.
Yeah, I have to say that I think it’s okay to be that club.
I wonder what his response would have been if he owned a cigar shop?
I don’t get it, Joel. Could you elaborate please?
I feel his pain.
The conversation went like this:
Bill Clinton’s underling: “Is there a tee time available for Bill Clinton?”
Golf course owner: “That depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.”
Jeremy, while I cannot speak for Joel, I believe he was making a reference to Monica Lewinski.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
