Oh golly I'm hot today...

I went to a Ryder Cup there around 2000. Beautiful place. What a shame….

That 10th at Riviera has gotta be my fave short par 4. A real cool hole.

Another great comment about Phil 'FIGJAM' Mickelson's laments about the greedy PGA:

'When those comments were shared online, Brooks Koepka — another elite golfer reported to have been courted heavily by the SGL — responded by commenting, “[Don’t know] if I’d be using the word greedy if I’m Phil.”

Wait so Mickelson isn't a good guy? No way can't be. He does the aw shucks and great media. That wouldn't be ignored...

I hope to see Rory calling for the game to cut it’s ties with China.

Ive been to both places, didn’t really like either.

China is orders of magnitude worse than KSA.

From instigator to victim. The operative phrase?: 'Taken out of context'. Poor guy.

Chamblee is great.

I didn’t know Phil was so well liked in the tour.

The other golfers nicknamed him FIGJAM. 'E--, I'm The Greatest, Just Ask Me.'

I looked that up. Evidently it’s an Aussie thing.

Lynch: Apologies are a test of character, and Phil Mickelson’s revealed his

Apologies are less about atoning for past mistakes than setting the table for future comity.

This is another example of the media failing us - it has been pretty much common knowledge that Mickelson is a bum. Phony, money chasing, egomaniac and the networks let it go and played up his Eddie Haskell thing because the public ate it up and they wanted access. A cycle that is ruining sports.

Siding with murderous autocrats so you can get the rights to pictures of you taken in public is comically awful and lacking and self-awareness, obviously.

That being said not sure we really want to look at where these athletes make money and who they associate with.

So, I guess what he said is obviously fine, since he said it "off the record".

So totally tone-deaf.

Eamonn Lynch said during an interview with GolfChannel.com the "off the record" claim is an outright lie.
