US Ally Saudi Arabia Just Beheaded 81 People In One Day

But they tried a golf league

And failed

Hooked up with Greg Norman and choked

Still don't get why Norman bought into the Saudi pro tour. He is supposedly worth $400 million, shouldn't have been the money. So he decided to throw away his rep by getting in bed with the Saudi's and phucking up professional golf. Mickelson also tried to dive into the sh*t pond. Reminds me when the Indy people decided to destroy open wheel racing in the US and leave the rubble to Nascar.

Walked a Pebble Beach practice round in 92. Arnold was great. Norman was a dick.

Saw Norman at an exhibition at Bear Creek. He's hitting drives into the net at 300 yards which was long then

I said - now really hit one. Everyone laughed

Except Norman

Choking dog wit a bone to pick with the PGA Tour

Norman was pushing this world tour idea like 25 years ago. At that time he wanted to be playing for big cash in Singapore, Dubai or Ibiza instead of a the tour stop like the Greater Milwaukee Open.
 
Better to get our oil from them than Texans…

Venezuela told Joey to go pound sand. Yes, a shocking development. Peppermint Patty says there are no conversations taking place at this time. I hear the TX and ND oil fields are tanned, rested and ready for the call up.

Plenty of oil here in California as well.
 
The tour beat him with the WGC idea. Now America and Europe will join together in the next phase

The tours make the stars. Even if Norman got the stars of today there wouldn't be a tomorrow

Nobody is getting famous winning the Riyadh team match. Dumb idea but Norman did make the players more money

3.6 for the Players championship winner

Tour winnings are peanuts compared to the endorsement money. The endorsement money terminates if the game is rigged and the "stars" don't have access to the four majors. Name an Indy car driver? How much money did Mario Andretti make on endorsements as a household name? Now spit. It's all the NASCAR guys. Rickie Fowler is getting like $10 million a year on endorsements.

Normans idea was effectively to close the gates. Limit field size, decide who gets into the club and keep cashing checks. That doesn’t work do to the depth of talent and fickle nature of the golf. Been a lot of guys who were sure things early on, bottomed out and resurfaced in their mid 30’s to temporarily live up to their initial hype. And then bottom out again. Have a 50 man field every week and these guys no longer exist.

The WGCs suck dick as well. Small fields and no cuts is part of that, but they also choose beyond shitty courses. Go play one at Pine Valley or Tera Iti in New Zealand and see what happens.

They kept changing the WGCs which makes them irrelevant. Golf is about history like baseball

The original WGC was Doral -(TuRMP) - and Firestone in America with a match play and a foreign stop

Tiger won like 19 of the 1st 20 in case they became major

When you change them to something crazy good (which they haven’t tried yet) you might get a different reaction. Golfers read about the same list of top 50 courses in Golf Digest every year, and have seen like 10 of them on TV.

Tradition matters when it’s good tradition. Firestone blows ass by the way. So does Eastlake. So does Muirfied Village which is like a top 20 course every year. Golf Digest is just blowing Jack on that one.
 
Firestone is a flat ass slog through 18 identical holes

I am a big Muirfield guy though

Lot of courses don't want tournaments

Lots of top courses (Bandon et al) are in the middle of nowhere. They are also pushing the public course angle. Worked for Beth Paige Black not so much for the Chambers Bay disaster.

Half the issue with the tour courses is the time of year that they play them in. Muirfied in May gets soaked every year it seems like. Pebble in February is beyond soft. FedEx cup in humid and rainy east coast sucks. West coast courses in August are awesome, hard and fast which is the best tv experience. The players hate it though. They really should have a rotating spot out west that time of year. The Napa tourney in September that gets no one good playing is one of those the sneaky better ones to watch every year.
 
Back to oil. Word is that the Saudi's are toying with the idea of accepting the Yen as payment for oil.

Hope no one here likes their money much...

I hate it that they moved the PGA Championship to May from August and kicked the Players back to March. Seems like it phucked up both events. Why the PGA wanted to have the PGA Championship in the South or Midwest in August was stupid. The 1998 Championship at Sahalee CC was a great event. Lots of great courses in North Cali and Oregon and Washington.
 
Saudi executions to where the PGA should be played….you can’t get this anywhere else. More than worth $10.95

Pumpkin Ridge just got selected as the second stop on Normans Saudi Tour. Outrage on the Twitter that Portland of all places would sell out to a foreign dictatorship that doesn’t support climate change or human rights.
 
The schedule is crafted to be during the Quad Cities or whatever then the fall. No direct competition

Telling

Also no word on who is playing

Norman should have got Chinese money. NBC and golf don't have an issue with that

The Saudis are the bad, bad guys. China is pretty cool and stuff
