Today, in terrible promotions comes this story of a Wisconsin golf course running a $9.11 special for 9/11. Because nothing says honoring the death of thousands than cheap golf and a potential hole-in-one. Hooray stupidity!
The Tumbledown Trails Golf Course has run the special for three years but it wasn’t until now that somebody cared.
Here’s their response on Facebook.
We would first like to apologize to everyone that we have upset or feels we have disrespected in anyway. By no means did we mean to do this.
Here is what we will do this Wednesday 9-11; we will still let all that have tee times booked play for the previous rates we posted. Then for all other golf that day we would like to donate the $ difference between our normal rate and the previous price for the day to the 9/11 Memorial.
We hope that everyone will now see this as a positive as we really meant it to be. Again we do sincerely apologize for offending anyone & hope that you do accept our sincere apology.
What’s next $19.41 massages to celebrate Pearl Harbor? Six million Buzzfeed lists to honor the Holocaust?
Wait, nevermind. I don’t want to give Buzzfeed any ideas.
