   If ONLY American held it’s current “leader” to the high standard it holds Phil Mickelson… Or even, you know, a medium standard.

   News fodder. No one really cares about it as much as the media outlets. they’ll dish out articles all day so long as people still click to read them.

   It was a GOLF tournament, folks, not some solemn occasion. In fact, it was a poorly executed golf tournament.

   Sure, Phil shouldn’t have done what he did. He was penalized for it. Arguing over whether or not the punishment fit the “crime” is futile.

   Overlooked in all of this is how horrible the USGA is at putting on our national championship. In order to preserve par as unattainable, the USGA tricks up courses so they become unplayable. They’re not hard; they’re unfair. Good shots are punished. Poor shots are punished, too, but not in proportion to their inaccuracy. It’s rather random. It doesn’t produce our best golfer.

   It used to be the PGA that produced guys who won it and little else. But the US Open is the worst of them all now. All the other majors can produce good conditions and worthy champions. All the USGA can produce is a guy who can survive their particular brand of weird.

   Its what you do as a modern day celeb. Do something – get ridiculed – wait a couple – apologize – move on – still make 22 world wide. next.

   Intentionally violating the Rules is disrespect for the game. Sorry your apology is as lame as your reasoning.

     intentionally breaking the rules and taking advantage of the existing rules to your best advantage
     is one thing.
     Intentionally violating the rules to gain an advantage over the field is DQ every time. Back to basic, Rule 1.2

   Aw heck Phil is human too. it was funny as heck— One thing about it was the incident got a lot of press from the radio and Tv media on the mainstream— Normally they do not mention anything about golf but Monday morning every radio station was hopping with the news of the incident. I like Phil and personally I think it was just frustration. I think the rules natzis of the press blew it all out of proportion
