Wasn’t there a murder or murders that were part of why the new tour was so wrong?

PGA caves?

Yep, The "blood money prince" has more money.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

It will be more profitable for the multi-million dollar super stars of golf, regardless of which label they now use.

Golf is fading in the USA {the PGA club pros are now 29,000 when 15 years ago they were at 34,000} and it is because young American people don't play as much as as the young people in the rest of the world {mostly slants and dots, the two groups with over half of the total population in the world}.

What was the old line, contributed to Churchill? “We know what you are now we are just haggling over price”

What is it about the term, "Professional Golfer" that you have never understood?

They play for money, a whore ***** for money, you work for money, are you a whore or a professional?

What?

As compared to round eyes and feathers?

You do know that the Asians and the Indians are the most bigoted people on the face of the earth, or don't you?

Koreans, Japanese, Chinese etal are the most bigoted people {against each other} and look at the round eyes as the dogs of the world.

In 2023, the Indians {dots, not feathers} still live in a caste system where a man can sell his daughter for 200 rupes {THREE DOLLARS} to a brick factory, as an employee for life.

You think I need help because I use the same descriptors that they do?

WOW my ass.

Have you ever been to any of these shit hole countries?

For decades. china killed baby girls, and india still drowns many females {for being born a female}.

Don't preach to me about calling those low life creatures, slants and dots, and if American black rappers and comedians can call each other niggers, so can I.

Ever hear of the First Amendment?

Piss off with your righteous indignation... WOW.

I’m just a regular old working guy. In my spare time I like to play golf.

Not sure what you are saying. Do you have a problem with people who play a game for money?

BTW. Probably not since no one has mentioned it. There aren’t any anti-trust concerns with this merger?
