2:45p.m.
A Pennsylvania golf club that called police on a group of black women golfers is defending itself days after apologizing, saying it typically requests slow players to leave the course.
In a second statement issued after the Saturday incident, Grandview Golf Club in York says members usually leave after the request.
It says the women refused to leave, so the club called police ''to ensure an amicable result.''
On Sunday, the club co-owner said she called all five women to apologize.
The women say a man whose son co-owns the club told them they weren't keeping up with the pace of play. The man, a club co-owner and other white male employees later told them they needed to leave.
One woman, Sandra Thompson, posted video on Facebook of the encounter.

One of five black women golfers who say they were told to leave a Pennsylvania club says it felt like they were ''playing with targets on our backs.''
Sandra Harrison says representatives of the Grandview Golf Club in York told the group at the second hole they were playing too slowly.
After the ninth hole, an hour and a half later, she says they were told they took too long a break and needed to leave.
She says she and two other women left because they were so rattled by the treatment.
The club called police on the two women who remained. No charges were filed.
Club co-owner JJ Chronister has said she called the women personally to ''sincerely apologize.''
Harrison says she's still traumatized and hurt.
