Government officials in Palm Springs, California, announced this week that they will remove what some consider to be “racist” trees from the city-owned Tahquitz Creek Golf Course.
What’s the history?

The trees, which line a golf course and were planted in the early 1960s, are said to have been designed to segregate the golf course from a historically black neighborhood.

This just proves one undeniable truth: Real Estate agents are scumbags.

Every golf course I've ever seen had trees on the edges of the course.    Looks pretty but it also helps keep errant golf balls from hitting people and cars.
