Right on! Those guys got filthy rich playing a game the rest of us PAY significant money to enjoy occasionally. They stabbed the PGA in the back. Get lost!

No aces for me. I have come close. Never had a two putt Birdie, despite having hit a few par 5's in two, and driven one par 4. I have chipped in, and holed a sand wedge from about 65 yards for Eagles.

... That's nothing! ... Donald J. Trump had a hole-in-one
just weeks ago.

I am shocked you brought Trump over to the Sandbox. Well, not really.

The PGA tour is great for the game and for some golfers. But the players are only independent contractors. They are not employees. I have worked as an independent contractor, and some employers have said you can't work for them if you work at certain other employers also as an independent contractor. That is the PGA tour stance also.

I guess that is fine, but there are so few places on the PGA tour.....maybe 170 golfers make a good living, the rest struggle and try to get on tour. It would be good for the players if there were more tours to play at.
Of course Greg Norman is just trying to get the established players with huge money at stake, so that is something different. It brings very few opportunities for the newer players.

Maybe.. Considering his Witness is Ernie Els, I'm inclined not to believe it.

... Ye Christ! ... You never trust Trump!

... I'll surely have you know - that Trump is a GREAT golfer
- and has SIX or SEVEN hole-in-ones...

Most of them were when He was out on the links alone.

Trump has cried wolf too many times.

He also says he won several club championships...but he was the only player entered.

That being said, if he ever did get a hole in one, congratulaions Donald.

I introduced my Dad to golf. He was lucky enough to get a hole in one with a 7 iron shot. He was happy.

Beautifully sarcastic winning post. I wish I had written it!

... I surely been holding onto it since last evening, mate.

Surely glad Vita started this thread. ... Not too keen on
you mates badmouthing Greg Norman - but I'll live.

Why would Trump hand over the trophy? He’d claim he won.

Surely wonder how some o' you loudmouth lads would do

the beautiful and majestic TRUMP golf courses...

President Trump could hand-over the trophy!

Salty Again · 05-11-2022, 04:51 PM

Hmmmm... there's always a chance Trump would WIN!

At least in spirit, right?

Greg Norman seems like a sincere, stand up guy. He used to be a great golfer, one of the best drivers on tour.

But he seems to get involved in these offbeat things about world tours and such. Maybe it is an Australian thing. Mel Gibson seems to have a lot of the same attitudes.

Another weird thing Greg Norman did was marry Chris Everett. Everbody said, "What ?" Even Salty and Bambino could have figured out that was not going to last.

It was almost as weird as Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett.

Salty Again · 05-12-2022, 10:15 PM

... uh... Mel Gibson figures into things how?? ... He's a New Yorker.

... Oh, I get it now... Trump's a New Yorker also...

Always Trump, Trump, Trump with you.

I wonder how Phil “stabbed the PGA in the back”. He won a exhibit game on thanksgiving and had to pay the PGA 5 million dollars of this winnings for using his likeness. Because the PGA owns you if you play on tour. He called them out and somehow bringing this and other things up is stabbing them in the back?
