They do realize that the employee that received said invitation can decline, correct?
And the fact that most people know their clients and colleagues well enough to know if inviting them for a round of golf is appropriate.

This is becoming absolutely insane. When are people going to stand up and say enough is enough of this feeling sorry for yourself bullshite? These people will ruin the country if they are allowed to continue like this.

That's just not true anymore. There are courses EVERYWHERE, and many of them you can get a round in for under $30. A used set of clubs good enough to get the job done is not terribly expensive either. balls are not bad. There are cheap driving ranges all over the place to learn on as well before you eve hit a course. Go chip outside in the back for practice.
I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying regarding total costs, but you can't really deny that golf is wayyyyyy more expensive to get into than a sport like soccer, football, tennis, basketball, etc.
A cheap set of clubs is still going to be more expensive than a football, a basketball, a tennis racket, a soccer ball, etc...
ETA: This microaggression shite is completely stupid. Just trying to say that even though golf is a lot cheaper than it used to be, doesn't mean it's nearly as cheap as almost every other sport.

You can go to a public range and rent clubs and be under $50 for total fees.
BS article.

Those machines were the tits.
Still had them in the late 90's. That ice was awesome.

Does Micro-aggression also include inviting someone on my 60 ft Viking to go marlin fishing? Just want some clarity on this issue because I can understand the Golf thing.

An editor’s note later amended to the University of North Carolina guidebook makes clear that it “does not represent University policy.”

They don't stop at golf.

Prohibited “microaggressions” include mentioning Christian holidays such as Christmas, telling someone that you “love their shoes”, and using the words “husband and wife” instead of “partner and spouse”.
The list was revealed in a blog post made to the university’s employee forum by Faculty Programs Specialist Katie Turner, who boasts both a Master’s Degree in Women’s Studies and a Certificate in Gender and International Development from the University of Florida.
In the list, divided into sections that include “Race”, “Gender Identity”, “Religious”, and “Ability”, several microaggressions are listed along with the reason as to why they are offensive.
Turner claims that the offensive microaggressive statement “I love your shoes!”, translates to “I notice how you look and dress more than I value your intellectual contributions. How you look is really important”, and that celebrating Christmas “Further centers the Christian faith and minimizes non-Christian spiritual rituals and observances.”
Asking others to “Please stand and be recognized” is also forbidden as it “Assumes that everyone is able in this way and ignores the diversity of ability in the space”, whilst only acknowledging the two biological genders, Male and Female, is also heavily frowned upon.
Even sport is not safe, as asking co-workers if they’re up for a game of golf “Assumes employees have the financial resources/exposure to a fairly expensive and inaccessible sport”. Asking a colleague where they are from, interrupting a female, having a gendered dress code, and announcing that you “don’t know any LGBT people” are also strictly prohibited.
“Do these examples sound familiar? Have you delivered or received similar microaggressions?” concludes Turner before providing extra resources for her colleagues in order to help them become less bigoted. “As we come to understand the impact of our words not only in the present, but as a result of years of marginalization, we must identify ways to be better allies and bystanders in the workplace and beyond”.

Last Thursday, the UNC-Chapel Hill Employee Forum posted an opinion blog on its website on the topic of microaggressions. Those opinions were wrongly reported as University policy and/or guidelines; they are not. The blog does not represent University policy nor was it intended to be an official or unofficial guidebook as it has been widely reported in social media. UNC-Chapel Hill has no policy, formal or informal, about microaggressions. The Employee Forum has since decided to remove the post because it was misconstrued as University policy. Read more: LINK
