Speeding through the golf zone

On my way to work and home, depending on the route I take, I pass through several school zones. I gladly slow down to an exact 20 mph speed limit, as I remember when my children were school age and would want *everyone* that entered their school zones to do the same.

Again, depending on which route I take, I also pass through a "golf" zone with signs alerting me that I should slow my speed to 20 mph so that the golfers can cross the street, either by foot or by cart, to get to their next hole.

Well, no.

I continue my 35 to 40 mph speed and am thinking, defiantly, that if some peace officer wants to ticket me for this, I'll gladly pay the fine. So far, luckily, that hasn't happened.

I'm sorry. Maybe I have an irrational dislike of golf and golfers. Maybe my ClubCorp experience has tainted my view of this game and its proponents. But I just can't bring myself to think that there is anything fair about me, on my way to a productive job in the morning or home from that same productive job in the evening, slowing down so that some retired rich guy in green plaid polyester pants with the rest of his life ahead of him to play golf doesn't have to wait for me to pass to continue on to his game.

School zones? Yes. Golf zones? NO!
