Elite pro golf on TV

Chris, are you saying because he lives there he has a right to bitch about the course being soft from a lot of rain? In my opinion he's simply a pampered soft ass guy that parlayed his one shining moment into a deal with murdering thugs from SA.


It's funny, but the kid from small town Montana endured a long flight across the Pacific, arrived in a rain storm, didn't see the course until round one, and didn't complain...he sucked it up and won.   I'm not sure why pro golfers, and many on this board can't accept that weather is a huge part of your golf round...it ain't always going to be perfect conditions.


Target golf is easy...easy for everyone in the field. Maybe the 54 Hole Tour had reduced his competitive spirit?

What was his one shining moment? The Players or the British?

You think he "lives there"?

Your opinion and $5.14 will get you a vente mocha at Starbucks.  The PGA Tour has been partnering with "SA" for many years and continues to do so.  Just google "Harold Varner Saudi" and see what comes up, first of seven links still prominently displayed on PGA Tour website.  Hey, where were you on 911?

He seems like a high quality kid, but what he did or did not say is not relevant.

I'm not sure why pro golfers, and many on this board can't accept that weather is a huge part of your golf round...it ain't always going to be perfect conditions.

Are you seriously in the dark about how the conditions were dumbed down due to a ladies event being held simultaneously?

Target golf is easy...easy for everyone in the field.

Yes.  The winners (a guy ranked outside top-1000 and a part-time pro shot) shot a combined 35-under.

Maybe the 54 Hole Tour had reduced his competitive spirit?

Obviously not...

Craig, what's this "2025" thing all about?

[Craig Sweet]

Actually Chris you said his home is there....in Australia.


"Dumbed down" is pretty sexist Chris.   But perhaps it didn't rain at all and you are right, uh?


Ryggs?,,,,He just wrapped up his collegiate career (very fine career) and joined the DP tour a few months ago. Pretty hard to be ranked after a couple of tournaments..
