Tim Finchem made a plea for common sense
On Wednesday in Los Angeles, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem made a plea for common sense, asking p_layer_s to forgo the use of legal-but-nonconforming
golf pieces Ping Eye 2 wedges until the circuit can play legal catch up.
Following one of the most contentious Tour weeks on record many p_layer_s who attended Tuesday’s p_layer_s meeting would have settled for a little civility. But in hindsight it seems what the circuit could really use is a grammar lesson.
Even before Groovegate, grammar was a handicap to the modern professional. How’d you play today with the
callaway ft-iq driver? "Good." That would be well. How’d you hit it? "Bad." No, you hit it badly, you non-ball-striking trunk slammer. Of course, the grammatical crisis reached a crescendo last week when Scott McCarron likened Phil Mickelson’s use of a 20-year-old Ping Eye 2 to cheating without
callaway x-22 irons. McCarron offered a clarification, of sorts.
“I didn’t say Phil was cheating,” he told a group of reporters adjacent Torrey Pines’ ninth green last Friday. “I said anyone using (a Ping Eye 2) is cheating,
taylormade r7 cgb max irons is not.” McCarron, one of the Tour’s brightest and most enjoyable interviews, did little to help his cause and simply besmirched the other four or five p_layer_s giving 1990s-era technology a try.
He further clarified in a statement this week that he didn’t call Mickelson a “cheater,” as
taylormade r9 460 driver which only pointed out a complete misunderstanding of the verb/noun relationship. Either way, McCarron used the one word in golf that doesn’t wash off and the rest, as they say, is ugly history of
_title_ist 2010 ap2 irons.
