Pavin and Gray and Tiger and Phil...The Ryder Cup Circus

So is Tiger gonna play in the Ryder Cup? Has Corey sat with him.. Is Jim Gray telling the truth? ..Listen here folks and let's be fair, I ran big organizations in my career.. thousands of people...never would a few days go by without me at least talking with 20-25 of my top people. They would include the 10 or so Presidents/VPs  that reported to me, but also top sales and service people as well as Sales Engineers and generally the brightest stars in our universe.. Don't know if Corey was caught without an answer here but did he really think he was not going to be asked about the number one and two players in the world.. He's not doing his job very well IMO... from the little mistakes on Twitter and now with Jim Gray.. There is something about a lot of these guys I don't like. They are great competitors and guess they don't need good organizational skills or something but this is another mess. It will be forgotten quickly if the US wins the Cup, but the likelihood of this beginning is a lot of young players (Kuchar and Overton come to mind quickly) and going to be looking for leadership..not only from Phil and Tiger but from Corey as well.. He needs to step up his game. Monty would pick Tiger.. So there. Get real. He plays.. even with a broken leg.

What's Next? Open Champs? Tiger's $700 Million Divorce? the PGA?

About this time of year the forums start buzzin' with what will be introduced in the fall by the oems's and thoughts turn to the Open Championship and perhaps the PGA... but I'm thinking Ryder cup and all the gossip... Monty snubs Faldo and Pavin snubs Zinger? or Not? Sorta reminds me of the grave dancing in Corporate America when  a new boss comes in and has about 4-6 months where he or she will blame their predecessor for all their problems.. or do they?.. seems if they know what to do they'd just do it... haven't read Azinger's book... be interested to hear what anyone thinks about it...Oh..and lost in the hoopla at the French Lick Resort in Indiana (Larry Bird's hometown) and the 43rd PGA Professional National Championship, University of Illinois men’s head golf coach Mike Small hoisted the coveted Walter Hagen Cup last night for the third time – and the second time in as many years. Article on PGA.com.

So what are you looking forward to?
