Why is that "the logical move" the guy obviously cares way more about his family than he does golf and that is the way it should be.

May be you should have included the post Doc was replying to (or at least read it) before commenting.

Ha  - That one raised my eyebrow as well.  So now the Players is a major?  Like one of the "5th Majors" that there are like a dozen of?  Anyway - it makes sense to me that Bubba is skipping this one - he hasnt done all that well here in the past.  I don't see him as a huge competitor with a really big drive to win.  He's just a goofy guy with a huge talent and I suspect he will be happy winning a few per year and a maybe couple more majors.  I don't think we're gonna see him burning the midnight oil on the practice tee anytime soon.

I think it's awesome to skip a big tourney to be with your family.

I've never understood why every player out there must sell their soul and let their lives fall apart in the name of golf and winning as much as possible and having the most illustrious career.

Hell, the guy already has a major. Will be on tour for many years to come and free pass to the Masters for eternity. He is paying his bills and is stoked with life. In my opinion, that's the way to go about it. Actually have a life and keep golf fun. Not strive to win win win win at all cost and hate yourself and get frustrated when you can't. There's various ways to go about being a tour pro. For me, the way Watson is doing it now is how I would like to think I would do it given the chance. Keep your love for the game whilst keeping the most important things in life above golf.

Well done Bubba. You've got more maturity and sense than a few posters I can think of. Or is it just common-or-garden jealousy that motivates them?

He's probably going to become like Geoff Ogilvy. Wins a major and then hardly ever plays because he's focusing on the big ones and never does very much else except winning the Hawaii cash grab.

Your "credibility" is now on the line Shorty, with this prediction of yours. You can be sure we'll hold you to it.

Man, you guys are everywhere online!! Nowhere to be seen in real life!

That's a bit of an overreaction, don't you think? It wasn't even a "smart" response.

You are the one who said that "you guys" (presumably meaning non believers) are everywhere online but "nowhere to be seen in real life".

If you seriously believe that to be the case, then he is right.

What do you mean by "smart mouth" atheists? Do you mean ones who challenge your beliefs with logical questions and observations or ones who openly mock you?

I hardly think that suggesting that must you live in a very closed environment is an insult, when you are the one who essentially made the claim.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

It was more on the "Bubba Sparks believes in the spaghetti monster, he is obviously irrational" or whatever else he said.

Fair enough :-)

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
