Free green fees can get you in trouble -- National Golf Foundation drawn into nasty politics
Add commentsWho would think the World Golf Foundation could be drawn into political nastiness? It’s a staid golf organization.
But, a top Department of Justice official, J. Robert Flores, is under a Congressional investigation for awarding $500,000 in a federal grant to fight juvenile crime, even though Flores’ staff recommended against it, according to ABC News.
Why? Investigators noticed Flores played a free round of golf at the Slammer and Squire golf course in St. Augustine in February, 2006.
Wait just a minute, Flores said. He DID pay for it. Yesterday, 24 hours before his scheduled testimony to Congress.
If I’m ever subjected to Congressional scrutiny, I’m in big trouble.
