About a week ago, I wrote about a local Columbus, Ohio newspaper columnist named Joe Blundo for taking potshots at two private courses closing down.

Blundo was attempting to liken the problems to the state’s burgeoning charter school fiasco, and I didn’t think it worked. I also said that I thought it was like shooting fish in a barrel making fun of golf, and easier still when the industry is on its back.

One of the replies posted to my little blog was from fellow TravelGolf.com blogger Ron Mon (if that is his real name), saying, “Don’t be a victimist, and don’t look for scandal and slander everywhere, much less calumny.” Thanks for the advice, Mon. Now go listen to D’yer Maker some more. Or 311. Or some other bullcrap rock band that leans heavily on reggae. I don’t think calumny is that much less than scandal and slander. Or trickery. And anyway, I wasn’t looking for any of that. I just thought Blundo’s column sucked. Generally speaking, it always does.
