Sorry, I didn't see Mr Hendren's understated interpretation of events regarding gamesmanship yesterday, until this late hour.
I did begin the discussion of my take on EH on the EH vs CB according to Whitten thread.
Mike has curiously omitted that I also saved his life yesterday when I had to catch him from what would have probably been a fall that would have minimally broken his neck. After walking to mutual near exhaustion, and even after a refreshing (not mutual) shower, on our way out to dinner, Mike's bermuda shorts pocket caught a knob on the back of a bench sitting precariously at the edge of the brick veranda, down two steps to a brick patio. As if in slow motion, a series of ever more lost balance from the 'knob in the pocket' pulling back on the intended forward down stepping of Mr Mike, caused an avalanche of Tennessee mountain man to crumble. Had I not caught him, steadied him, and saved him from this fall, it would have probably been his last GCA.com outting!
AS for the Daley line of rationality of cost being crossed to play EH, I was under my limit. I also bought two fine shirts in their quaint pro shop with the most reverent of Irish Christian muzak playing in the backgorund (inspired by the holy cathedral that overlooks the clubhouse) from a lass who- I kid you not- was about the most beautiful long red tight curled hair with azzure eyes, one could possible script in a Hollywood calling for a quintessential Irish woman to go with the Erin Hills theme. It was as if she were the most beautiful lead dancer of Riverdance. Yes, the miserly RJ did indeed pony up some ping in those environs.
So to sum up... I saved Hendren from the vicious baby rattler bite at Rustic Canyon by pushing him out of the way of the charging viper at his heal; I intercepted the hissing and feisty grass snake (I never saw one rear back as if in a cobra-like strike position, really); and I caught and righted the fatally free fallen man mountain Mike -pulling him from the clutches of certain death or crippling injury.
What do you guys want from me... congressional medal of honor heroism?
