Lucas Glover is probably the only FedEx Cup title contender doing his own laundry

As a golf fan, I’m loving seeing Glover winning and back in contention. Yes he won The US Open in 2008, but since then he has been in the golf wilderness. Now with a new putter he’s back in it again. Gives us old duffers hope. I hope he wins today.

Plus, the married father of two had nothing better to do on a Friday night. “I'm very bored in my hotel room," he said. "Finished my book [a Daniel Silva novel], so I needed something to do.”

And he reads Daniel Silva?! I'm liking him more.

Hilarious interview of McCord by Feherty, including plenty on the Scottsdale golf scene..

Thanks

I had an acquaintance a few years ago that bounced on and off the bottom of the qualified PGA Tour players. He lived the dream life of every bachelor. Made ~$600,000 a year. His home had a three car attached garage. The entire floor was covered with bags of golf clubs. He let both my kids go in and pick a bag, including a card for a pro to fit them. Manufacturers want people to see pros playing with their clubs. New sets came his way nearly every week.

Was an interesting glimpse inside the lifestyle.

Fabulous story within about McCord inviting Feherty into the tower and Director Chirkinians vehement refusal.

“NO,NO, NO...DON’T PUT THAT CRAZY IRISHMAN ON THE AIR, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.”

McCord: “OK, we’re in.”

Side note: I once had a pre-production meeting with Chirkinian at the AZ Biltmore—from which—he was directing a live, on air tennis tournament from the comfort of his suite.

“Ready one, take one. Ready 2, take 2.” Not much to that one.

Further, we masterminded a :30 TV commercial, which Frank directed, resulting in a :38 second commercial, which had to be mangled down to :33 and run from the tournament site trailer because NY can’t handle :33 second commercials.

My first exposure to network TV exposed how the big guys, too, are run by the seat of their pants

By winning last week he has an exemption for 2024 and 2025, so this week is all gravy.

...Steve Marino’s flight from Japan on Ernie’s jet.

LOL! I know that story.

THAT CRAZY IRISHMAN

Wasn't aware that Armenians cared about anyone other than Turks.

Keeping his tour card for two years is excellent but being in the top 50 brings guaranteed big money in no-cut events.

I never liked no-cut events and still do not. I hope this year’s scheme only lasts one year.

Lucas one back with two to play. C’mon Lucas!

[FLNittany]

He’s got this. Sweaty cotton pants and all.

The cut-down in the playoff events is from 70 - this week - to 50 - next week to 30 for the championship. Glover is already in for next week and probably for the following too. Big bucks.

[Rummyfan]

We could be heading for a playoff….

[Rummyfan]

My other two favorites Rory and Speith out of it.

[Rummyfan]

Playoff! FWIW, Cantlay is deadly with the putter.

[FLNittany]

Wow - Lucas just kissed his wife (the woman who stabbed him for missing a cut). No way he loses now.

[Rummyfan]

That is forgiveness….

[Rummyfan]

Does she have mental health issues?!

[FLNittany]

I’d guess. He refused to press charges and she was placed on 12 months probation. This was a couple of years ago.
