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

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      Yeah, let's just ignore that there were only 5-10 great players back then… 🤣 Ha ha ha. Whatever you guys have to tell yourselves… Tiger won MAJORS 22 years apart. That's a long time. He wasn't missing the top ten on the money list because he sucked, it's because he didn't play due to injuries.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Pretty accurate.  Another way you can look at it is how many years was Jack top 10 on the money list. It used to be the list that mattered, nothing else came close. Jack was top 10 from 1962-1978 and then once more in 1983 making 18 years total. He had another 4 inside the top 20. He was #1 8 times.  Tiger was top 10 from 1997-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 which is 16 times total. His next best were 24th and 38th in 2019-2020. He was #1 10 times.  Honestly, they're both pretty long but Jack has quite a few more seasons in the upper ranks. Makes sense when Tiger barely played in 2010-2011 and then again from 2015-2017, and pretty much 2020 onwards. That's not an excuse for Tiger though.

      Bangers and mash. In keeping with the golf theme.🫢

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Played three and a half rounds in England last week. I will not be playing more than maybe 4 rounds on any one course. Probably only about 20 rounds all year and between 4 and 8 of those will be alternate shot, so don't really count. Off to a pretty good start though. Three and a half rounds gave me 5 birdies and an eagle (with two of those birdies being on the same hole number).

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      First round of 2026. No birdies and a very pedestrian 86. Maybe I should have hit a few balls over the past 100 days. Next year!
