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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
