NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Talk at the Ted Rhodes Golf Course is the same talk at most places: Thursday's presidential debate filled with verbal missteps and mistruths.

In what's being billed as the most critical election of our lifetime, last night, one of the biggest back-and-forths between former President Trump and President Biden was over their golf handicaps.

I talked to both golfers in the player above.

Golfing buddies Barry Elkins and Sara Dobbs said while they sit in the same golf cart, they're on two opposite ends of the political spectrum.

Even so, they say last night's debate provided a moment of ironic unity that everybody could agree with.

"For the first time, it's just funny to see everybody agreeing this was so horrendous to watch," Dobbs said. "We can laugh together, and that hasn't happened in a really long time."

They both say while there might be room for debate at a golf course, there's maybe not room for the golf course at a debate.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
