Yeah, golf baby! My university, Morehead State University in Morehead, KY, is raising $1.6 mill to purchase Eagle Trace Golf course in Sharkey, KY which is centrally located in the middle of nowhere. This is the case even though the university already owns one golf course and even though Eagle Trace is a big money-loser.
My university president explained the golf course purchase by saying that Eagle Trace would be a tourist attraction as the only 18 hole golf course in this part of the state.
Sure, golf would be a tourist attraction for the one month out of the year that it's not constantly raining.
Maybe the University should think about building a network of indoor put-put courses instead and make Morehead the "Indoor Golf Capital of the World."
Well, I have to get my umbrella so I can go out in the rain to take my daughter to see Steve Henry, as uninspiring a gubernatorial candidate as you can imagine, a guy whose main claim to fame is that he married a former Miss America.
Update: Steve Henry didn't show and his place was taken by a University of Louisville undergraduate who almost knew what he was talking about.
