I read that Jimenez is having second thoughts about wanting the RC captain's job. I like his reasoning. If he were to take on that RC job, it would cost him actual playing time. His competitive game would suffer. He wants to still compete with the other pros.

I too want him to continue to compete. He is one of the few pro golfers I will watch on TV.

More likely it would cut into his European playboy lifestyle.

That's a bit harsh, dont'cha think?

The cat has been competitive in a few of the recent majors.

Don't blame him for wanting to wait a few yrs.

Absolutely love the guy.

But wtf is that squirrel doing under his hat?

:scared:

I enjoy watching him, but I also root against him. Same deal I have going with Mr. Woods, only different somehow.

I've always liked rooting against certain teams or competitors as much as I like rooting for others.

I just post it as I see it.  He has often been quoted as not spending a lot of time working on his game, because he prefers his freewheeling playboy lifestyle.  To say that he refuses the captaincy because it would hurt his game seems to be contrary to that philosophy.  I can believe that he might feel that it might cut into his playing time, but that isn't 7 days a week.  Most pros spend a lot of their non tournament days practicing, but my understanding is that Jimenez does very little of that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing him for wanting to live life on his own terms - more power to him.  I'm not sure that I'd necessarily want the headaches that go with a job like the Ryder Cup captain's position either - I sure as hell wouldn't want the US job after all the crap that's gone on about it this year.

I don't get it.  You seem to want to denigrate M-A-J for his self-admitted foibles, whilst giving him props for admitting those foibles.

IDK, mebbe too many double neg's for my bean. :bugout:

Where did I denigrate anyone?

Maybe he's afraid that he will be the Captain of the losing side and all the drama associated with that.

.... like that's going to happen in our lifetime. :-D

How do you know? And why would you say such a thing? He just got married and he may wish to spend time with his wife.

And how am I supposed to know that?  It's not like my life revolves around the lives of every pro golfer.  I don't follow golf on Facebook or Twitter.  I have other interests in my life.  Jimenez's lifestyle as a playboy is well publicized.

Is it also well documented that Miquel spends very little time on his golf game? that you wrote about on post #5?

Not to worry, I'm out of it.  If I'd realized that all these guys were related to him I'd have never commented in the first place. :smartass:

You can love him all you want.  If the Captain thing doesn't work out there is always an act he could do in some strip joint on the far side of town.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By saevel25 ·

      @Hardspoon and I will have to discuss it over for the next one. 😛    Just to give a short review of the courses.  NorthStar is a pretty good course. The condition is good. There was a couple of meh holes (#16 and #18 specifically). Nothing really stood out as amazing. Yea, probably like a 6/10.  Eaglesticks, I think from tee to green is really interesting. Some of the greens, more so pin positions were a bit crazy. Like, if you slightly missed you would have a putt that could not stop with in 15-Ft of the hole. Maybe a 5.5/10 something around there.  The Virtues, still good as ever. In really good condition. Being it is in a similar part of the state as Eaglesticks, it shares the same hilly terrain. Eaglesticks is more compact, so it might have more extreme slopes. While the Virtues is on a larger property and was more selective in where the holes were built. The green complexes at The Virtues seemed fairer than Eaglesticks. Still, I think a very good public course that can challenge you to hit a good tee shot. The approach shots are interesting. I still think I would recommend people make the trip to play if they haven't done so. Probably a 7/10.
