Golf Channel Takes a Mulligan on 'I Have a Dream' Tweet
Martin Luther King Jr. made history on Aug. 28, 1963, with his rousing "I Have a Dream" speech. Fifty years later, the Golf Channel fell into the sand trap of trying to join the conversation commemorating the event.

@GolfChannel Really? Comparing civil rights to GOLF? Terrible.
