10 golf topics to argue about instead of politics this holiday season
The halls are decked, the Tofu turkey is congealing and you’re sitting in a graveyard of brake lights bracing for your annual shouting match with your most cherished family and friends. This year, with war brewing, recession looming and primaries upon us, things are bound to be more fraught than ever, but we here at Golf Digest have a simple solution:
Every time politics comes up, whether at the dinner table or huddled around the crackling 4K Yule Log, turn the conversation to golf instead.
With one of the most controversial years in golf history to unpack, you’ll still get to express your pent-up angst with each other, only about something that doesn’t actually matter. Now when tempers die down, everyone will be able to enjoy ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ in peace ... provided you turn it up loud enough to drown out the ticking of the doomsday clock.
