Teeing off Against Corruption

Article Taken from RADIO-TV INTERVIEW REPORT (Mid January 2009) This Expert Explains Backdoor Dealing on the Golf Course

Your area golf pro shop seems like an innocuous place, but
it’s likely swarming with powerbrokers, movers and
shakers, and others among the local intelligentsia. Here,
important business and political schemes are hatched off
record and out of public view.

Had Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich tried selling Barack Obama’s Senate seat
on a golf course instead of on the phone, he’d likely be a wealthier man.

Some, like writer James Ross are intimately familiar with what goes on behind-the-scenes at pro shops, golf courses and country clubs. And as a descendant of legendary political satirist Mark Twain, Ross has a natural aversion to
corruption. Time again he is shocked and appalled by the events being shaped on the golf course.

Ross will take listeners and viewers behind the headlines for an insider’s view of how power is really brokered in America.
