My short answer was the one you quoted.

My bit longer answer is: I have no idea how the various types of fees work and I really don't want to know, BUT we know that Bubba is not stupid in playing for free an event of the Euro Tour, don't you think? So how the fees work is not that relevant to the general question which more or less was: was Bubba payed to play in France? If you don't want to believe that the answer is yes, well, we can't do much for that...

I am pretty sure Journeyman answered that question. I repeat, it's so cute that you are so convinced that Bubba played for free in France, good for you! :)

I am not convinced, I just want to see something in print that says he was paid some sort of fee to go there and play thats all. If he was paid good for him, if he wasnt paid good for him, I dont care. I just want to see some sort of dependable proof. seems like this is all hearsay so far.

Mr turtleback: Firstly, thanks for making me feel so welcome to this community. I'm deeply touched. Secondly, it really doesn't bother me what you believe the credibility of my assertion

I'm 1/4 French and my wife is 100% French. I told her this story and she said something like, "Who cares?!?". Exactly. Spoiled professional athlete whines about local food and customs. ZZZZZZZ

Bubba Watson has ADD and is generally weird and/or eccentric. Strange noises and unfamiliar surroundings would likely set him off (imo). Dustin Johnson is rumoured to be dumb as a post and perhaps he

You seem very determined to find out for a person that doesn't care

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
