NORTH BRADDOCK, Pa. — A viral video of black women being kicked off a central Pennsylvania golf course is causing headaches for a business in North Braddock.
The Grandview Golf Club shares the name of the facility in York.
The owner said he's been getting threatening phone calls and it's gotten so bad, he put a disclaimer on his website, making it clear the courses are not affiliated.

The women involved in the incident in York this weekend said they were approached by the owners and told they were playing too slowly.
The police were also called.
"We were the only African-American women on the course, and they wanted us off," said Sandra Harrison. "If, at the end, some minds could change, some hearts could change and some people could change -- however we get to that result -- is what my desire is."
The woman said a worker at the golf course called to apologize and they were offered full refunds.
