According to a news report, they are being investigated for, get this, if club officials collected money from members to fund a tournament purse. I mean, everyone enjoys a little gambling every now and then, right? It&#8217;s hard to believe there aren&#8217;t more important things to investigate or police over.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law states something to the fact that it is illegal to bet on the results of a contest of skill. If that&#8217;s the case, they need to close down almost every course. Now, what if it&#8217;s a contest of luck? I&#8217;m sure 99% percent of golfers out there would agree that the few great shots they hit were more luck than something skillfully planned and executed.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;if that&#8217;s the case, technically there should be no case. This is a democracy, and if 99% say it&#8217;s luck I would tend to agree. Tell me if you have ever witnessed this scenario:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Golfer hits a great shot. On the approach to his ball, the other members of the foursome congratulate him. Golfer replies &#8220;Thanks! Yeah, that was skill&#8230;&#8221; and is serious about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Never. Doesn&#8217;t happen. That must have been skill too when they sent two into the <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.com\/blog\/average-hack-golf-glossary#lumberyard\">lumberyard<\/a> and one in the drink on the same hole.<\/p>\n<p>Unofficially, these tournaments and betting between golfers has been going on for a very long time. So much that it&#8217;s practically become a part of golf&#8217;s DNA. In Tarpon Springs situation, it&#8217;s a mystery to me why this would be an on going investigation and hopefully it all works out for them. I guess gambling is illegal at Bushwood.<\/p>\n<p>Hit&#8217;em long&#8230;yell FORE!!!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a tough break for Tarpon Springs Golf Course in Florida.
