This guy writes for Golf Digest, has his own blog and contributes to the 'State of the Game' podcast. A well-known 'journalist' and course critic. Here is what he said in the State of the Game Podcast dates 27/11/13 after Mike Clayton (Australian Professional and course architecture partner with Geoff Ogilvie) stated that Ogilvie rated McIlroy above Adam Scott after watching him playing at Royal Sydney.

''I’m writing him off next year if he’s going to continue this legal wrangling nonsense. I just don’t see how with the trial just a couple of weeks after the Ryder Cup, you are going to have a good year with all that looming. And when you see the details of what he is haggling over, what he’s mad about… I think it’s important because it does speak to…to how much this stuff. I mean, look at this guy with this amazing talent…and I understand what Geoff Ogilvie is saying, that he probably has more all-round talent than Adam Scott…the short game…the whole package...but look at how much this kind of thing can derail a player when they have that talent. It shows you how fickle the game can be.''

Since this McIlroy has won the Australian Open, the European PGA and now the Open Champonship.

These are the people that write on the game and broadcast over the internet.

My question is this - can I get a job?

Sure. Write a column here. Get noticed. :-) Also I think Rory has people to handle the legal stuff. He can mostly just play golf.

What does it pay?

anyway, here is a couple for you.

1. the woman who McIlroy is licking his post-Caroline wounds with

2. The reason for all of the heavy security presence with RM down the 18th - chose Ireland for the Olympics, had an Uncle murdered by the UVF, is a MU fan in Liverpool. Not a well-liked man.

None of those mean much to me. There are a couple of what?

What's the latter have to do with this topic? Or the former, now that I think about it?

    • Day 107 - More pitching practice, playing around with trajectory. 
    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
