Biggest homer? What the fuck kind of nonsense does that even mean in this context? So if I'm pro USA and anti Saudi Arabia I'm a homer? The fuck is wrong with you, you dumb fuck stain. And no, I said I won't fault anyone for not being able to turn down life changing money so long as they spare us the Saudi propaganda. That's been my stance for a long time.Quote:

I love Feherty myself but the few times I listened to him on LIV he seemed pretty flat and unfunny. Only upside for me to this is that if I ever get the chance to go to another PGA Tour event, I'll have players to clap for and players to boo.
I've met him in Hilton Head when he was broadcasting the Heritage and he couldn't have been more genuine or funny. He was also brutally honest in why he went to LIV; one of two guys off the top of my head who were.

The mental gymnastics they'll go through to defend their now Saudi ruled passion and those Saudis will be similar to the way rich people defended and or excused Trump's deplorables because they were all in for the new tax breaks.
What the fuck are you talking about? I have to give up golf now because of the Saudi’s?Quote:

Jesus you say some dumb shit on this forum. I'm going to go play 18 today with my friends and have a good time. That has fuck all to do with the Saudi's. They don't own the entire sport.
What are you going to talk about? Are you still going to watch PGA events and cheer for these sellouts? Buy the products they are endorsing?? They've ruined the entire sport for anyone with a conscience.Quote:

This wasn't a merger, it was the dissolution of LIV and the creation of a new entity, not controlled by the Saudi's (just *partially* funded by them). It's a big difference, for me at least. If we're going to cut out all of the companies and brands involved with Saudi money I have some bad news for you... their money is everywhere!
Heh, now do soccer/football....Quote:

DBdude- You don't know me at all and your words are completely and totally off-base, and also factually incorrect about any of my logic, or thoughts to how I know our gov't is totally fucked. Progressives and liberals can also be patriotic. What, because I'm female, you choose to be rude AND condescending? GFY with that comment. YOU are the fucktard. And an asshole. WTF
As for golf, I don't post in the golf thread. But I've been playing since drivers were actually made out of wood. Love the game. But it does feel dirty now, tainted. I like to enjoy watching a football game once in awhile, but that doesn't mean I love the NFL. But the SA influence, and relation to the orange tyrant, it all seems too greasy now with PGA. It's really an uncomfortable feeling and I don't like it.
Not sure what to do at this point, nothing one layman person does will influence anything the PGA decides. I have a conscience and this does bother me. But there's nothing I can do about it. Will I play golf less? Not sure. The game will still be the game. I just don't want to financially support the PGA in any capacity at this point moving forward unless things change. Is it possible to still play golf and not support the PGA? I like to think so.
Why would playing a round of golf somewhere support the PGA whatsoever? It’s a sports league. It’s not the USGA. Does playing catch with a football in the back yard support the NFL? This is a goofy ass discussion.
Also, because I definitely know there are people here who are still clueless: the PGA Tour and PGA of America are completely separate entities.
Next season of Full Swing is going to be very entertaining.
Yeah. I'm shitty at golf. I piss off people who like golf because I don't have a PGA login so I can't tell them my handicap which doesn't exist. I drive a couple miles to a muni course and pay them $30 to hit a round.Quote:

The official handicap system is administered by your state/regional golf association which is under the USGA umbrella. Completely separate from the PGA of America which is completely separate from the PGA Tour. This thread is making my brain hurt.Quote:

I wonder if any Saudi oil goes into frisbee golf discs.
Golf has always been kinda fucked up with boozy cigar huffing fat guys. A “medium” golf shirt fits me like an XL. Gotta make the fat guys feel good.
He’s a lonely old guy with absolutely nothing to do. Life is much better here with his moronic garbage on Ignore. Please stop quoting his crap, we don’t want to be reminded of his annoying existence.Quote:

^^^True, the mid level players got $100M to join LIV
Watching the golf community react to this is kind of like watching the Tesla fans after Elno came out as a Trump Humper. And yes, the Ven diagram overlaps.
rory can do that hat trick on the RBC, 2019,2022 and 2023(no 2020 and 2021, covid)
so much trouble @ the RBC, kinda hard being ro ro RORY>>>Quote:

If Mikela woke up tomorrow and the Saudis had bought Amer Sports/Atomic -- would you be spewing bullshit about her being a Saudi royal family whore?
The game is not the PGA Tour. The game existed for hundreds of years before it. It'll exist long after it as well.
I actually said upthread that I'd stop following the US Ski Team if the Saudis were polling the strings there.Quote:

So they can get fucked if they don't.. or if they do..
This is easily the most horrific business deal to happen at the highest level of pro sports ever. I'd be super pissed if it happened 20-30 years ago when I ate, slept, breathed, and shit golf week in and week out.
I was toying with the idea of gearing up and playing again when the kids finish college and leave the nest.. Jury's out on that now... If it's Saudis RUINning the top levels of the sport and profiting from it that's a big fat fuck no now..
The game will be better without you.
Rory needs to shut the fuck up….. and stop wearing hoodies.

I’m out on this thread, too many people with no fucking clue what they’re talking about. JFC.
I don’t know. Rory gets a big time pass from me. He took so much shit on Monahan’s behalf only to get sold out by him.Quote:
