“I’m hoping one day he’ll come out and have the honesty to talk about his past. It would really be a great cleansing process for him, but I don’t know if he’ll ever do that. I wish he would, because unfortunately he’s going to get always get questions about his past. Always questions about what happened at Georgia, what happened at Augusta State, what happened with his parents. I wish he would get it off his chest at some point in life, because I think it would help him become a better person.”

I would have sent that in a PM but I'm not allowed so the topic stays on the masters.

Is that the same guy who had to resign under a cloud from SMU?  Maybe he needs to follow his own advice?

They did and if it wasn't for Spieth/fowler push the tournament would have fallen on its face after tiger's round finished.

It would've been a disaster!

The players playing "good golf" were on the main CBS coverage, which shows those in contention.

Again, why do you care so much about what happened almost ten years ago? I'm not saying you don't get to… I just don't see the point. Were you perfect as a kid? Has there ever been any definitive proof he cheated?

No I wasn't perfect but I didn't lie and steal. When there is two separate schools where the players accuse a guy of cheating, there is a pattern. I tend to believe the players who are known as good guys like Harmon, Husdon Swafford. Also why was he suspended at Augusta State then?

Good catch.

SMU men’s coach Josh Gregory resigned under pressure Friday in the wake of reputed rules violations, Golfweek has learned.

Ho hum.

Again, I'll ask: why do you care about something that happened almost ten years ago? And has never actually been proven (not the drinking stuff)?

And who was interviewed as his former coach and current coach on Morning Drive this morning saying things like "Patrick Reed is a great guy, has a lot of friends, intense, and a great player."? (paraphrased) Oh, Josh Gregory? But wait, there's more…

And how much credit should we give anything the guy says? He's clearly had a checkered past himself, no?

This is bizarre

Yes and he has always took risks on shady characters. I don't think this is SMU's first offense.

Why should I take anytime to respond to you? You love to edit my posts and yours. You have some issues with being able to dish out heat but not take it?

@MuniGrit, I edited my post when I realized the mistake nearly twenty minutes before you made your post. You quoted an old copy of the post, and only pointed out a mistake I'd already corrected before you posted.

Clearly Josh Gregory doesn't have all bad feelings about Patrick Reed - he recruited him to play at Augusta State, won two national championships with him, and continues to be his coach.

Saying I hope someone comes clean doesn't mean you have bad feelings. I have even seen you on here when giving honest advice call it tough love. He is right, it would be good for Reed to be honest. Look at Daly's checkered past and people love him because he is honest about his troubles in life. People like honesty, not liars and thieves.

Again, though… I don't know why you care so much about old shit.

[ScouseJohnny]

Christ Almighty. Very dumb things happen in college. One freezing cold winter's night in the 1990s, after a lot of beer, some of my mates "curled" (slid) a Mini belonging to a girl in the dorm room next door, whom none of us liked, on the icy parking lot, while the rest of us looked on. They "parked" it around the corner. She called the cops. A uniformed Sergeant and Constable came and sat in our dorm room kitchen, and, trying very hard not to smile, gave us all a proper bollocking.

Looked at through another lens, that could, perhaps, be construed as "TWOC" (in UK parlance), "Grand Theft Auto" (in US parlance). The coppers decided a severe talking to was enough.

I'm certainly glad I'm an obscure academic. For high-profile professional golfers, and other high profile people, I guess the scarlet letters from their salad days exist into perpetuity. Which seems sad.

While I agree with you, I also wonder why you care so much about what he (or others) worry about

He doesn’t. Nor do I. Come on.....

I care only to the extent that he’s a sourpuss and rather than celebrating the great golf Patrick Reed played he’s being negative and bringing up old shit.

Which is to say I care very little.

This is what my left and right ankles looked like after I tore all the ligaments. I did it twice. They must have taped it like a cast for him to be able to play.

He should change his Sunday apparel to Victory Pink from now on.

Thanks for sharing. It reminds my of Aaron Roger's relationship with his family. We may never know the other side of the story.

LOL! I thought the same thing!

I picture them all in a dark basement room wearing Master's Green cloaks, a small fire burning in the center of a circle. Ridley standing there in only Master's green boxer shorts.

"You have violated the sanctity of these hallowed grounds. You must now be punished."

LOL. He probably got pilloried and pelted with rotten fruit for his satanic mistake.
