‘Possible terrorists’; who knows if they were. Executions are common in Saudi Arabia (every Friday I believe). When I was there, we were not allowed to go to the public square when they were happening.

More oil for me.

Swaye

Mostly peaceful beheadings.

PurpleThrobber

Our 'ally'. If only we didn't have to beg for oil.

Fuckers.

MikeDamone

I heard a fascinating interview last fall with Bernie Kerik. He used to work security detail in Rihad. When newcomers arrived from the States for training, Kerik would take them to the public square, with them having no idea what they were in for. They'd see beheadings and start puking on the spot, much to Kerik's amusement.

All cultures are equal, only some have spicier food.

Saudi arabia to their citizens == us to our POC

Better to get our oil from them than Texans…

Venezuela told Joey to go pound sand. Yes, a shocking development. Peppermint Patty says there are no conversations taking place at this time. I hear the TX and ND oil fields are tanned, rested and ready for the call up.

Hooked up with Greg Norman and choked

Still don't get why Norman bought into the Saudi pro tour. He is supposedly worth $400 million, shouldn't have been the money. So he decided to throw away his rep by getting in bed with the Saudi's and phucking up professional golf. Mickelson also tried to dive into the sh*t pond. Reminds me when the Indy people decided to destroy open wheel racing in the US and leave the rubble to Nascar.

Oh yeah. Didnt want to accidentally include asians and soon enough, latinos. Oh wait I think they are now excluded too?

Joey

We can handle a few beheadings for a clear conscience in support of Ukraine

Walked a Pebble Beach practice round in 92. Arnold was great. Norman was a dick.

Saw Norman at an exhibition at Bear Creek. He's hitting drives into the net at 300 yards which was long then

I said - now really hit one. Everyone laughed

Except Norman

Choking dog wit a bone to pick with the PGA Tour

Norman was pushing this world tour idea like 25 years ago. At that time he wanted to be playing for big cash in Singapore, Dubai or Ibiza instead of a the tour stop like the Greater Milwaukee Open.

Plenty of oil here in California as well.

The tour beat him with the WGC idea. Now America and Europe will join together in the next phase

The tours make the stars. Even if Norman got the stars of today there wouldn't be a tomorrow

Nobody is getting famous winning the Riyadh team match. Dumb idea but Norman did make the players more money

3.6 for the Players championship winner

Tour winnings are peanuts compared to the endorsement money. The endorsement money terminates if the game is rigged and the "stars" don't have access to the four majors. Name an Indy car driver? How much money did Mario Andretti make on endorsements as a household name? Now spit. It's all the NASCAR guys. Rickie Fowler is getting like $10 million a year on endorsements.

Normans idea was effectively to close the gates. Limit field size, decide who gets into the club and keep cashing checks. That doesn’t work do to the depth of talent and fickle nature of the golf. Been a lot of guys who were sure things early on, bottomed out and resurfaced in their mid 30’s to temporarily live up to their initial hype. And then bottom out again. Have a 50 man field every week and these guys no longer exist.

The WGCs suck dick as well. Small fields and no cuts is part of that, but they also choose beyond shitty courses. Go play one at Pine Valley or Tera Iti in New Zealand and see what happens.

They kept changing the WGCs which makes them irrelevant. Golf is about history like baseball

The original WGC was Doral -(TuRMP) - and Firestone in America with a match play and a foreign stop

Tiger won like 19 of the 1st 20 in case they became major

When you change them to something crazy good (which they haven’t tried yet) you might get a different reaction. Golfers read about the same list of top 50 courses in Golf Digest every year, and have seen like 10 of them on TV.

Tradition matters when it’s good tradition. Firestone blows ass by the way. So does Eastlake. So does Muirfied Village which is like a top 20 course every year. Golf Digest is just blowing Jack on that one.

Firestone is a flat ass slog through 18 identical holes

I am a big Muirfield guy though

Lot of courses don't want tournaments

Lots of top courses (Bandon et al) are in the middle of nowhere. They are also pushing the public course angle. Worked for Beth Paige Black not so much for the Chambers Bay disaster.

Interrupting golf talk to note that @PurpleBaze has been eerily silent recently.

Mickelson had to apologize for calling the Saudi's "Scary Mother fuckers" and lost sponsorships as a result.
