Duck Dynasty's Golfing Days Undermining Their Redneck Cred?

Some blogs are insisting the reality show megastars are real, but Washington Monthly's Daniel Luzer says the Robertsons of A&E's massively popular show are not what they claim to be. All because they once were clean cut golfers.

From Luzer's post:

While obviously people change their clothes and their hair over time, and every man with a beard was at one point a man who didn’t have a beard, this is not the sort of photographs rednecks ever take.

Rednecks might sometimes play golf, but rednecks do not go on golf outings with their entire family. They do not pose with golf clubs and all of their brothers at the country club after a great game.

Besides being reminded of how hideous those mid-90s puffy print golf shirts, the far more disturbing image is of Willie Robertson's family Christmas card shot featuring his frosted tips, which almost makes the ZZ Top-chic look he now sports seem palatable.

In case you haven't seen this fine American export, here's a clip of Uncle Si talking golf with the family. The astounding realism on display is only exceeded by the shock that people actually watch this. Religiously.
