When a guy I worked with got his PHD, his wife changed all of their magazine subscriptions and their phone book listing to "Dr. Smith".
She was a snob...she even changed their TV Guide subscription!
He, however, still referred to himself as Joe.

On Taxpayers start subsidizing golf courses

I really don't want to subsidize somebody's golf game.
"In 2012, taxpayers will contribute about $1.60 for every golfer who tees off at Riverside or Blackhawk".
Here's how to fix it:
Raise the greens fee by $3 or $4 to cover the shortfall and pay for upgrades.

noexcuse...this is a city owned golf course. don't try to mix it in or compare it with DNR or other government agencies.
It's the City of Janesville that has raised my water and sewer rates and started new garbage pickup fees...while subsidizing golf for you poor "middle class working people".
And maybe I do "just sound stupid" but, then again, I don't chase a little white ball around and call it a "sport".

Thanks MikeF.
I would have eventually looked it up but you graciously did it.

Whoa!I guess I never thought of that.

Golf is a rich person's sport...let them pay for it all by charging more fees.
If not, how about subsidizing my fishing? Or camping? Or gardening? Or your favorite hobby?

The Gazette still does not have a mobile app!
C'mon Gazette, the Xtra page is a real pain on my 'Droid.
One that I really like is Weather Bug. Mobile weather and zoom radar. Great for road trips and fishing.
