Hey!

most of the pros on tour are Democrats-thats because they can afford to be and have enough social mobility to not suffer-ie they don't have to live and ghettoised areas and tolerate crime.

Can we stick to golf? I have to deal with socialists and left-wing ideologues all day, every day, on campus. I come home and want to talk about something fun for a change.

At least you get a general reprieve off campus. I'm in California.

He is not a bad President because he is dumb and he is dumb. Even though Snopes disproves that whole IQ thing anyway. He is a bad President because he fails to learn from mistakes that he makes and worse fails to admit when he makes a mistake. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Iraq?

I don't think he is dumb or stupid, and I get annoyed when people suggest he is because he mispronounces nuclear and other trivial matters. I think his way of running things are wrong. The whole 'compassionate conservative' ideology is flawed, Its like you are trying to take the benefits of conservatism and liberalism without the cons. You can't lower taxes and not cut as much spending , especially during a war. But I don't think he is stupid. I mean even people I disagree with on just about every issue I don't automatically assume are stupid. I think Barack O'bama is a smart man, even though I also think he is a socialist. I think Ann coulter is stupid even though I agree with her on some fiscal issues(obviously not on 'fixing the jews' and calling people the 'other f word'). Where are you getting these facts, by the way?

When, in the process of public debate or discourse, people start calling those who disagree with them names, then they just denigrate the whole process and prevent real dialogue from taking place. When Rush Limbaugh ( and I only use him as an example; there are so many others on both the left and the right ) calls someone a "feminazi," he stops any semblance of debate cold; instead, he becomes an entertainer playing to his audience. Additionally, he insults anyone who has a clue of what the Nazi's accomplished during their reign of terror or worse, lived through it. Name calling is a form of attack and begs for an end to dialogue and, consequently, learning and, ultimately, growth.

And to the issue of name calling: I note with no small amount of sadness the passing of William F. Buckley, Jr., today. I knew him slightly and admired his wealth of talent greatly. I particularily appreciated his public television show, "Firing Line," which provided an hour, and later, a half hour, of genuine debate and public discourse without ever, in my memory, resorting to the type of name calling typical of the talking heads often attempting to pass, these days, as journalists. He was an iconic figure who sadly seemed ignored lately by many of the those who now publicly mourn his passing.

By force of reason and personality alone, he helped shape the evolution of a major political party in this country; no small feat for a northeastern aesthete. I am sorry that there seems to be no comparable figure on the scene today who speaks with as much reason, erudition and wit as did Mr. Buckley. I did not often share his political views, but I cherished his participation in the public exchange of ideas. Tonight, I miss his perspicacious voice.

Hi

id say that Bush has caused America and the wider world a few problems that will not go away for years to come. Surely it is possible to be a Republican without being in favour of Bush?

..what was Bush doing after the WTC??..playing golf-'..watch this drive'..we all like a game but that shows a lack of compassion.

Hi

And I'd say that you are attempting to rectify some of the ill will generated by Bush by sharing with the world your avatar.

I am but who cares and why is this in a golf forum? Jay

The answer to your last question first: because this is the Grill Room where people are allowed to ask non golf related questions and discuss them.

Who cares, you ask? By the number of responses and the twists and turns this thread has taken, quiet a few people have expressed some form of interest in this topic. If you look around the forum, you will find many non golf related threads. The fact that people are allowed to discuss a variety of topics, herein, is a strength of this site.

pretty much the difference between republicans and democrats is republicans like to seek out sex with other men at airports while democrats go for high priced hookers, or at least the best they can afford

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
