I don't know, did he also cheat on his wife and owe you an apology?

Nope.  But in all likelihood, he is cheating on his country.

I wonder if Murray would even qualify for the PGA Championship?

He absolutely has the right to say what he said.  I have the right to say that he is a jerk.  Grayson, are you listening?  What is your reply?

Tweet of the week! Would love to see them find a muni where it would be possible to have the players tee off from spots that make the course like 7300 yards (even if they're not "tee boxes"), but then just play it as is 😆

I never questioned his right. I questioned if he was qualified to play. That might influence his statement.

You can respect the office without respecting the guy in the office.

Would you voluntarily turn down a Presidential Medal of Freedom? Meh. You can say yes here because you’re not being awarded one.

The PGA chose to go there, though, so it’s a different thing.

Bill Belichick was going to get a medal this Thursday, and he turned it down.

Seems like it was an easy decision for Belichick. 

Sorenstam has shown herself to associate with some of the more extreme right wing nutters so I understand why she went.

I actually dont know much about Players politics.

So it's possible a decision could come as soon as Monday. Here is Geoff Shackelford speculating which course the PGA of America might pick.

I take it from the lack of responses that most people are like, meh? Anyway, here's a dissection from Geoff Shackelford.

They have a good-looking clubhouse.  I could sit on their veranda sipping a gin & tonic while reminiscing about my round...

I think Southern Hills is a good choice.  It looks like a very nice course and, likely, will not need a lot of extra prep before 2022 tournament.   And May weather in Tulsa should be nice.

The most likely dramatic end to a round of golf at Southern Hills was the shooting of Roger Wheeler in the parking lot!

Tangueray No. 10.  But it's hard to find.  I'll call ahead before I go and have them order some. 😁  Which I'll share with Rickie, Dustin and Boogielicious.

Tulsa?  Really? Tulsa?

That's like not even an hour and a half from me.  

Wow.  Okay, this is going to take planning. Serious planning.  Hmm.  first, gotta figure how to get time off from work.  Wait--I'm one of the owners. maybe I can just fire myself if I can't give myself the time off.  No, let's not go overboard here. Still ...

So here is the field, it's eight days old, so there's that.

The field for the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club has been filled.

Paul Casey withdrew.

The field is set for the 2022 PGA Championship. 156 golfers will tee it up at Southern Hills Country Club, with Joel Dahmen earning the last spot...

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
