Hugo Chavez recently lambasted the sport of golf, describing it as a sport for rich, fat, lazy people. In some ways golf is a sport for the rich, be it with high green fees and expensive clubs, but there are ways to play on the cheap. There are indeed some heavier hitters in the game, but try walking 18 holes in the hot sun and tell me it isn't a workout. I just hope golf courses in Venezuela do not retaliate to these unfair and daft comments. Otherwise they may, like the Venezuelan press, be deemed a threat to Venezuela's security.
Chavez' golf remarks are almost as keen as his failed law to prevent parents from giving their children names that are invented, difficult to pronounce in Spanish, or exotic. Guess we don't have to say adios to Richard Nixon Rodriguez.
