I am guessing that you had a couple in you when you posted this.  :D :-*

I am away that weekend, but I suggest:

I really have not followed the LIV drama, but you did get me to click on that link. Does this "Club 54" stuff still work?

I have a very traditional golfer friend who admitted that he enjoyed the LIV TV format to watch, so I will never say never... But I won't forget our friend Ensign Josh Watson who was killed by a Saudi National at Naval Air Station Pensacola in December 2019. #NeverForget

If your going shirtless you have to top it off with a Buffalo headdress like the shaman guy from the insurrection. You will fit right in on YouTube. :P

It would be interesting if folks described the crazies that commit mass shootings as US Nationals. Or does that imply terrorism?

Ciao

Sean,


Not in a million years comparable. Here is the Watson Family picking up their son - https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.l.watson.9/videos/10221253220269784/ (https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.l.watson.9/videos/10221253220269784/)


Josh's killer was a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force legally on the Pensacola Base. He cleared security to be a flight student, where they teach very complicated "stuff". Pensacola is the home of Naval, Marine, and Coast Guard Aviation.


No Military (USA or other) are allowed to carry weapons on any Military Base in the USA. Only base security can carry. Foreign Military are not allowed to buy any weapons while here in the USA.


He/they found a loophole in the Florida hunting regulations to obtain a gun. It is my belief that HE did not act alone. I don't want to distract from Jaka's already silly post, but come on... a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force killing 3 US Navy Sailors on a domestic US Military Base is terrorism. Josh's death got lost in the Covid insanity that followed.

I wish theses types of posts would disappear. It's a MAJOR US problem but it's also happening all over the world. Oslo last week  I believe. I'm guilty of this too. Let's get back to golf or JK's ridiculousness.....

The least diverse sport in the history of man has found another group of brown people upon which to hoist their moral flag. Sweeney is the one poster on this site whose posts are more predictable than mine. Autism and the death of any soldier are issues that have cost me many nights sleep. Let Sweeney be Sweeney.


Now can we get back to the show and watch some dudes play golf. The most exciting professional golf event in years is about to be held near the finest courses in the world. Why not take a break from hate and have a great time?

This is nothing more than the bored and idle work of a notorious troll.


Let's not feed it and just leave it to watch "F-Troop" re-runs on FX after carding some mid-90's slop at one of those "time-share national" courses.

If only there was a way to watch top notch championship golf, for a cheaper ticket, a more enjoyable in person experience, and at a more interesting golf course.


OH there is - The Western Am at Exmoor Club, Aug 1-6.

For the record, I think Sean Able is the most interesting poster on GCA.com. Obviously the quirky course reviews that he post are very interesting to me.


More importantly, he is an American living in the UK/England (??) for many years and Sean has a unique world view that I do not have - both for golf courses and for world events. He has seen the UK as a local on the ground American on the other side of the "British Empire" for years, and now a failed/failing joining of a European Union.


USA has gone a different direction, and we have these series of "Allies" that sometimes work, and sometimes don't. Golf traveled where the Brits took it, and now we have the complicated "Allies" of Saudi Arabia using the LIV Tour to do what? I really don't know. But it is NOT about golf, in my opinion. I am also open to the concept that it could be good for diplomatic dialogue between Allies. Unfortunately, money tends to screw that up.


If everybody wants to believe it is "just golf", that it is your prerogative and I will look elsewhere for answers. John Feinstein wrote a great column(s) about current state of college athletics and LIV:


https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/07/01/ucla-usc-big-ten-expansion/ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/07/01/ucla-usc-big-ten-expansion/)


As with all the conference-jumping that has taken place in this century, this is about one thing: money. This is no different from the golfers who have jumped to the Saudi-financed LIV Golf (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/07/01/liv-golf-portland-pumpkin-ridge/?itid=lk_inline_manual_12) circuit claiming their goal is to grow the game (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/06/14/liv-golf-pga-tour-greed/?itid=lk_inline_manual_12). Just as the golfers are actually trying to grow their bank accounts, the college administrators are motivated by the welfare of their bottom lines.

I totally agree, and I wish I had gone down to the Curtis Cup at Merion.

JaKa never fails to reel in suckers(that’s a fish before anyone takes the reference personally) with the measliest amount of bait. I predict this thread is nowhere near it’s conclusion and I’m anxiously awaiting more replies. :)
