PGA Tour Plans to Make Non-Vaccinated
Golfers Pay for COVID Test

Original Article

Posted By: Ida Lou Pino, 4/20/2021 9:48:02 AM

The PGA Tour is telling its players they will not have to be tested for the coronavirus if they are vaccinated, and those who aren’t will have to pay for their own tests starting this summer. In a memo sent to players Monday, the tour strongly encouraged them to get vaccinated. It stopped short of saying it would require players to be vaccinated to compete in tournaments. Players would be deemed inoculated 14 days after the full course of the vaccine.

Comments:

Yikes! PGA Tour golfers may have to pay $100 - - or even more - - for a Wuhan flu test. For many pros on the tour - - this may be a devastating financial setback.

We all know the next step. Fans must show their “papers” to attend. Looks like PGA is submitting to the corporation money like all the others. It will be bad for business in the long run. One thing I learned from the truth house, corporations aren’t capitalists. They want to monopolize business. They hate competition.

PGA Tour enlightened liberalism started during the tenure of former commissioner Tim Finchem, who was a democrat activist before he was commissioner. Finchem routed a substantial donation to the Clinton Foundation by way of proceeds from the tournament formerly known as the Bob Hope Desert Classic.

I stopped watching golf as soon as they got political and pulled tournaments from Trump,properties. Not because they pulled from Trump properties, it because I won’t support any organization that does virtue signaling. Get woke, go broke.

What makes this even more ridiculous, is the fact they are outside, and rarely within ten feet of each other. Besides, many of these golfers get enormous appearance paychecks just for showing up, and are paid to wear shirts and hats with a company name on them. Even the clubs they use are paid for by the maker of the clubs. Also, the Covid test fee can also be written off as a business expense. No one on the professional golf tour is broke. There may be a local pro who on occasion takes part in a tournament, but there aren't too many of them that do that on a regular basis.

This is so stupid. The chances of a golfer getting COVID on a golf course are about the same (maybe less) as his chances of getting a hole-in-one on a par-four hole.

Poster 4, a few years ago, the PGA Tour moved a tournament from Trump National Doral to Mexico City. Early this year, the PGA of America pulled the 2022 PGA Championship from a Trump course. The PGA Tour and PGA of America are often confused.

So they're going to force players into taking a test that has been proven to be inaccurate, cannot measure viral load nor which virus or bacteria is present. Recently, the BBC show "Panorama" did an expose inside a test facility in Milton Keynes showing just how contaminated the samples become during the test process - I'm sure that's not happening here... /s. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-56556806

It had all the makings of a once-in-a-generation scandal: allegations of political sabotage from a hostile foreign power, the willing cooperation of an upstart political candidate, a stolen election, a compromised U.S. national security system, and a genuine threat to the stability and integrity of the United States itself. Yet after several years of claims from politicians, activists and commentators that President Donald Trump and/or his campaign actively colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton, the scandal itself has essentially died

Senate Republicans will introduce legislation Thursday to create a new bipartisan national commission to reduce the deficit and balance the federal budget within 10 years. Republicans are concerned about runaway government spending and how it will be funded after Congress spent nearly $6 trillion in pandemic relief last year while the Biden administration is gearing up to spend trillions more. “We are on an unsustainable trajectory. We’ve become numb to the word ‘trillion,’” said Sen Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican and the lead sponsor of the Sustainable Budget Act.

Special counsel John Durham is reportedly scrutinizing British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s main source for his discredited dossier, using a subpoena to obtain documents from the Brookings Institution related to its employment of Igor Danchenko, a researcher who visited Russia in 2016 as he worked for the ex-MI6 agent. The New York Times reported on Monday, citing “people familiar with the investigation," that Durham “has keyed in on the FBI’s handling of a notorious dossier of political opposition research both before and after the bureau started using it to obtain court permission to wiretap a former Trump campaign adviser."

Prince Harry is preparing to return to the UK for the first time since leaving Royal duties after the death of Prince Philip - but questions remain over whether Meghan will join him.

The Sussexes, who faced calls to postpone the interview because Philip was unwell, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the duke, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be before he was born.

They routinely provide top-notch care to transgender patients for everything from cancer to the common cold,” Goodrich outlined Tuesday.

That sounds like a bipartisan sin of officiousness that, despite the public nature of many posts, can leak into being a Fifth Amendment violation. However, when you dig more deeply into the article, you discover that the Post Office is concerned only with “right-wing” inflammatory information.
