Fore Things From This Past Weekend

In another stunning display of sheer absurdity…

The Women’s US Open became a USGA fun house down the stretch filled with slo-mo replays, a definite rules infraction, and laughable indecisiveness.

Yes golf’s rules are ridiculous, but even more so are the people who enforce them. Obviously, the HD mega-zoom replay mid-round in a world of real-time is a problem, but the manner in which they are handled has become almost surreal.

By not telling the players in the proper sequence that would make any logical sense, you are changing strategy and thus the game. When you hold the power to affect the outcome, things instantly become less fun.

Congratulations Bethany USGA, on a job done.

Nobody cares about the Olympics, unless your name is Patrick Reed.

He’s doing the deed of replacing DJ in Rio, who withdrew because sources said he “had other plans”. Can you imagine Pat’s presser if he wins gold? Fairly convinced he’ll promise to find a cure for Zika, or at the very least name his next child after it.

Rickie also decided to join the Team USA party by RSVP-ing via the Internet as only a typical millennial would do. Said it all along, dude just gets it.

Jordan chose to tell the IOC officials prior to going public. Decent PR attempt, until the inevitable poop-storm. Speaking of poop, Matt Kuchar backdoored a trip to the Olympics as well.

Team USA is full, finally.

UPDATE: During Jordan’s presser today at The Open, he reiterated he cited “health concerns as a whole”not only Zika. The man is a well-oiled PR machine.

John Daly putted one-handed on Sunday.

That actually happened. In a competition. He was within 6 of the lead?  Maybe I’m being generous, I don’t know. Doesn’t matter, nor does it surprise me really. The man was built for the Champions Tour.

Just recently he posted this timeless classic of his inflatable hot tub. LEGEND!

He is golf’s Wild Thing.
