Comments on: Big Mouth Mark Hensby Criticizes Greg Norman http://thesandtrap.com/tours/other/big_mouth_mark_hensby_criticizes_greg_norman Golf News, Reviews, and Commentary Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:32:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Jol http://thesandtrap.com/tours/other/big_mouth_mark_hensby_criticizes_greg_norman#comment-8406 Jol Tue, 27 Nov 2007 04:20:59 +0000 http://thesandtrap.com/uncategorized/big_mouth_mark_hensby_criticizes_greg_norman/#comment-8406 Where was Mark Hensby last weekend at the Australian Masters. As a Melbourne boy you would think he would be supporting our tournament as he suggested Greg should. There may be a valid excuse but as far as I know he hasn't played since he won 500K in late October. Where was Mark Hensby last weekend at the Australian Masters.

I don't think it's wrong to speak your mind because I certainly do every week here at The Sand Trap. I just disagree with what Hensby said about Norman. I think of Greg Norman when I think of Australian golf, and so does everyone else. The comments weren't valid, that's what I have a problem with. He can speak his mind all he wants. And I actually agree with what he said about Michelle Wie. I agree with what james white said in the first comment.

As an ex pat Scot living in Australasia I've witnessed, first hand, the ever reducing number of big name players coming to Aussie and Godzone (aka New Zealand). It appears that the Aussie administrators are unable to get their act together. So who's going to change this unfortunate situation? Thinking about this and trying to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. My thoughts turned to the King - Arnold Palmer, who decided he'd play in The Open which his peers avoided, primarily because of the fact there was more money in the US. As we are all aware the King breathed life into what was becoming a very devalued major championship. Long live the King. What's needed is someone who can breath life into the Pro Tour Down Under. And it appears to me that Norman has the mana, the money and presumably a network of a pro friends who owe him one, to resurrect the Aussie/NZ tour. And should he accept the challenge. Just maybe he'll end up being remembered more for his gracious contribution towards reviving the Australasian tour and less for his penchant for snatching defeat from the jaws of success. Erik will send personal email to you tomorrow explaining where I'm at and where I've been for the last few months. Gentlemen

This last year Rory Sabbatini started degrading the game by his obnoxious behavior. Now this. You kind of expect thugs to mouth off in tough team sports, but golf is basically an individual sport. The biggest mistake Greg Norman has ever made is getting involved with Bill Clinton, however, hundreds and hundreds of Ausi kids are growing up trying to be the next shark just like we have a bunch of kids trying to be a tiger! I agree with you on this one - you make a name and influence others with your clubs. That give you the right to speak!

There is so many morons using their 15 minutes of fame (ok, sometimes longer than 15 min) to bitch about other people. Unfortunatelly only some of them have to pay for it (happy Thanksgiving T.O.!) Hensby talking about Norman is crazy. Get real Hensby, you're out of your league talking about a hall-of-famer. certain status, that most of the tour players have comes with sad but true obligation, to think about what you want to say before you open your mouth.
