What the hell? Do you know them personally? Did they run over your dog?

So what if he's married to a party girl? There's nothing wrong with party girls, just as they're is nothing inherently good about people who don't party

I've seen enough of the hideously narcissistic  instagram pouting, chicken legs, fake teeth, legs spread on a boat, and fake tan to make a superficial judgement.

I (strongly) disagree with this statement.  For the sake of this argument, lets assume that he does have a substance abuse problem; in which case, the LAST thing he should be worrying about is PR and

Also, to the general "he made a conscious decision" people ... do you know that for sure?  What's a more likely scenario for somebody's first cocaine usage: He was playing Hungry Hungy Hippos w

I have to come out and say it.. I agree with @Shorty on this one! I'm not feeling bad for the guy one bit IF this is drugs/alcohol (alcohol part is from me) related! Just none what so ever... It could be anything else and I would wish him well though, until more comes out he seems like a good guy and even someone who is down to earth worth having a coffee with! I guess I'm waiting to hear more to form a better formed opinion of the guy, not sure any detailed info will ever get out though!

I think he probably is a good guy and pretty down to earth. But I get the feeling he still likes his drugs/alcohol a bit much and being around her does not help the situation. He is not exactly Einstein upstairs either so that probably doesnt help with his decision making. Good for him to address whatever issue he truly has right now rather than waiting when its too late.

I also wonder if somebody has talked to him about it or if this was really from deep within to make this decision. Wonder if he has gotten any talks from some of the all time greats. The Great One himself however isnt exactly Mother Theresa.

I don't think that's what Shorty was saying...

If it is drugs, my sympathy is limited. Did he not get the memo that they have a tendency to do the opposite of what people think? The one that every child has been given on a weekly basis from age 5? If he's a "role model" and that's what he's out for, he has lost a supporter.

[quote name="Grndslmhttr3" url="/t/76216/dustin-johnson-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-tour/40_10#post_1030343"]I don't think that's what Shorty was saying... [/quote] Maybe I misunderstood him.. I apologize in advance to @Shorty if that is the case! I will reiterate just in case... I have no sympathy what so ever for him if this is drug/alcohol related :) I don't expect many others to either, but it could be different for others depending on their experiences!

What is wrong with any of those things? Truthfully? What does it matter that they have fake tans? What does it matter they have 'chicken legs'? Legs spread on a boat. Christ almighty. Ain't nothing wrong with these women. They are allowed to live any way they want as long they aren't hurting anyone.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
