Buffalo Tournament Club, More Like ‘Breathalyzer Tournament Club’

FOLKS, you know for a region where we only get sunshine about 3-4 months a year, Western New York has some very legit golf options. There are a number of private courses that are well maintained and give golfers that intimate vibe they are looking for, and there’s no shortage of public options to grab some friends and have a foursome on a Saturday.

So you could imagine my surprise this weekend when it was brought to my attention that one course in the area was pulling a USS Enterprise, and going where no course has gone before.

When this was first brought to my attention, I honestly thought it was a joke…but no here it is right on their site. I had two takes. The first was elation, at finding out that ‘Flavor’ Restaurant and Bar is back open for business…thank goodness. My second was skepticism, it seemed like an absurd policy to institute. Safe to say, I wasn’t alone.

Buffalo Tournament Club is essentially becoming the movie theater that flashlights your bag to make sure you aren’t sneaking in milk duds at an 80% discount. We will see if the public outcry or just ridiculousness of the policy causes them to change.

EDIT: As of 9am Monday, the breathalyzer policy has been removed from BTC’s site.
