Norman isn’t wealthy because of some single focused mental ability. He is wealthy because of his golf skill. He smartly parlayed that into branding, but it comes down to his golf persona. And there are super wealthy people who aren’t arrogant and unethical. Read about the problems with his club in Florida. Read how he took advantage with his best friend’s wife. He just seems like a bad guy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth did you think this was something even remotely worthwhile or appropriate to post given everything we’ve been talking about???? 6 Quote In my carry bag: Mavrik Max 10.5* R Flex Evenflow RipTide Hy-Wood Launcher 5h D7 6i-GW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience this is way too broad a statement. Due to our business I have personal interaction with more than a few mega millionaires and most are very good to deal with. A few have developed into friends after working with them for a few years. We are far, far away from their economic status so it's not like they view us as financial equals that are worthy of their time. (They have seen my work truck and been to our house so they know we aren't on their $$ level ) They are genuinely nice and treat people with respect. I have also worked with people on the other end of the economic scale and they act like the "idiot dicks" you describe and also don't care what we think unless it supports their self serving agenda. None of them live in exclusive expensive communities so in that regard they are different than GN. I usually learn fairly quickly what they are like and either turn down the first project or decline any follow up's. People can be turds no matter the status of their financial bottom line or position in society. GN's arrogance is properly summed up by his blatant lie about not knowing about Shipnucks ejection while staring at it happening. I would bet he was the one to order it. 5 1 Quote Modern Bag: 849 Pro 9*, Accra Tour Z M5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 15*, & 23* Hybrids; JPX 900 Forged 5 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Raw 50*, Nippon Tour 120 X; SM9 54* / 10* / S, Wedge Flex ; Tour Action 57*, PX LZ 6.5; Ancient Anser or Heppler Fetch (depends on the week); Ball - MTB-Black; Bag - H2NO Shot Scope H4, MG600 Rangefinder Classic Bag: Driver - Persimmon; 3w - Speed Slot; 5w - Tour Block; 3 - pw - Dynapower; sw - Ram Tom Watson; putter - bullseye standard or flange.

TBS Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 20 hours ago, TBS said: Something that I just heard - Even if LIV events can't win you any/much OWGR points, LIV could make their "World Golf Rankings". Giving points to players on all tours and then create a series of majors with Purses that are out of this world. They can then use their ranking system to invite players from all over the world to compete. I know history and tradition is what everyone hopes keeps the current majors but majors are only what they are if it has the best players. With as much money as LIV has, it can literally recreate anything. Following up on the majors conversation. US Open and Open Championship have pretty clear entry guidelines and I don't see that changing. PGA Championship - meh, we'll see what happens but I also think that these players would be okay not playing in this major Masters - Could have the biggest impact BUT look who is with LIV - Sergio, Charl, DJ, P Reed, Phil, (possibly Bubba) all winners. 7 winners out of the last 13 years... A ban there could actually hurt that tournament. LIV is in the drivers seat unless Monahan has a few tricks up his sleeve. 2 2 Quote M6 12* Oban Kiyoshi Purple 65g stiff TS2 16.5* HL Oban Kiyoshi Purple 75g stiff G410 Hybrid 19* Tour stiff i210 KBS tour stiff 4-GW 54* RTX Zipcore 58* glide 3.0 TP Black Copper Juno 34in Oncore elixr or Snell MTBx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I threw on LIV for a little while this morning. Its not terrible. Turned to the RBC Canadian Open because I have fantasy players in play and more overall players I would prefer to watch play. 4 Quote 849D with Evenflow Riptide (stiff) V Steel 3 & 5 woods 939X 4H 699 (4-6) / 699 Pro (7-PW) with KBS Tour 120 shafts (stiff) 286 Wedge (50 degrees) 588 RTX 2.0 (56 degrees) ER8v with Fujikura MC shaft (firm) University of Miami Stand Bag Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy_APH Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Regardless of anyones side on this tour and how it impacts the future of golf both PGA and otherwise there is no doubt it has done a great job of stiring the pot to get lots of people talking about the game. I don't agree with its whole grow the game, but the overall publicity that has gone along with it has certainly been a boost for the golfing world in discussion and chatter. Just look at this thread alone as it has 20 plus pages in really not that long and as a follower of this thread I'm getting a ton of notifications on it at all times. 7 Quote as of Oct 31, 2022 (Past WITB) Driver: TBD: Follow here: Driver Shootout!

True. The other side of this is if LIV keeps getting players, there will be less players in the Masters and PGA Championship. The Opens will most likely stick to their current qualification rules which would allow most players the opportunity for entry. 2 Quote M6 12* Oban Kiyoshi Purple 65g stiff TS2 16.5* HL Oban Kiyoshi Purple 75g stiff G410 Hybrid 19* Tour stiff i210 KBS tour stiff 4-GW 54* RTX Zipcore 58* glide 3.0 TP Black Copper Juno 34in Oncore elixr or Snell MTBx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
