Glad you bumped this thread, forgot to post.
Played TPC Southwind last weekend in Memphis. First round from the tourney tees (6800), played pretty well, shot even. Second 18, backed up and played the Tour tees? **** thats a hard golf course. I played my ass off and barely broke 80. Par 70, 7320. It's a great golf course. Also, if in Memphis, play Mirimichi. It's a great track. |

Such leaks and the details were not at all surprising after the mess that was Sunday (and if Phil and the players wanted somebody to blame for their poor performance, this would have been the way to go about it originally).
But none of this changes the fact that Phil came off as the bigger asshole of the two by throwing his legend captain completely under the bus publicly after a loss. It's akin to somebody like LeBron blaming Spoelstra and his system after losing to the Spurs. |

There are times where you have to hold your tongue publicly if you give a shit about how you're perceived. Sunday was clearly one of those times. Apparently Phil is old enough now, though, that he just doesn't give a ****. |

If you'd like, I can easily provide you a link to one of the most popular golf forums online and a 500+ reply thread that discusses this. Take the temperature of the room yourself after Watson's antics came into the fore and tell me how unprofessional Phil really was.

Christ, it's like you are set on "argue" without an ability to actually discern new information as it is presented.

2) Why does Watson deserve to have such disrespectful and ruinous behavior kept in-house? What did he do as captain of that team to earn that right? He belittled his players, their contributions, and the opposing side. 3) Watson being a shitty captain is discrete from him being a shitty human being worthy of being thrown under the bus. Phil's comments and the subsequent revelations show why Phil's comments were deserved. The responses by his teammates, and several members of the pro tour afterwards, show why he was correct. This wasn't normal "you guys have to play better" bullshit. He was being a one who sucks the penis and deserved to be taken to task for being a one who sucks the penis. That's why people have soured on him, and it has nothing to do with bias; it has everything to do with being able to actually process information rather than resorting to trite, moronic cliches, which is what composes your entire argument.

Notice how people weren't going after Hal Sutton for his stupidity as RC Captain? He had 1/10 the career Watson did. You know what the difference was? He was incompetent, but he wasn't disrepectful to his players or the opposition, nor did he spend an entire evening belittling their performance.
All the flak Tom Watson took was earned.

And just in case you think I'm coming up with the Mickelson criticism out of thin air, here's another example. Whether you think Faldo, Monty, and Chamblee are right about any of their claims or not (especially about Phil somehow being a "corruptive" influence or "goofing off"), Phil did indeed catch shit for taking all this public in the way he did.

I'm looking for some help/advice on rangefinders...
My dad would like one for his birthday. He's in his 60's and would like something relatively easy to use. I know that Bushnell and Leupold make pretty good ones. Any suggestions?
