Many suffered greatly. But it doesn't matter - starting times are sold out through October. In several areas of the country, daily-fee price gouging is rampant. Pricing will play a big role in the future growth of golf. Other states have been criticized but not boycotted - Georgia, with its state flag mirroring the Confederate flag, and Arkansas, with its Confederate Flag Day.

The American flag and the state flag do that. The Confederate flag not only doesn't represent all of us, but it pulls us apart. Gov. Jim Hodges has endorsed placing it alongside the statue of Confederate Gen. Wade Hampton on statehouse grounds. The tourist business has been hurt some because of people boycotting the state. Other businesses have been hurt too.
