Peyton with the gift of beats! pretty cool.

Like @Ulysees E. McGill said
If his dad died I guarantee original poster wouldn’t have said that
Sounds like the guy daily acts like a karen

I like the term 'Give more Grace'. "Give more grace" is a spiritual and relational request, meaning to show more unmerited favor, mercy, and kindness, particularly to yourself or others, especially when facing challenges or mistakes. World would be a better place if we did more of that.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You mean like the rest of us that show up to work and are guaranteed to get paid? The nerve.

That's fine...but they should be honest about it and why...this was about a specific thing, not a generality.

 

[Orange_Crush]

They are all paid massive amounts of money to spew this ...the truth is this...there is NO PRESSURE on them to play well now...they get paid just to show up and play piddlefart crap gimmick golf.


I despise these losers...just be honest and say "I don't give a sh*t about the game, it's all about the money"

That's fine...but they should be honest about it and why...this was about a specific thing, not a generality.

Eh, I've left jobs I didn't enjoy for jobs I enjoyed more. I don't see the issue. (And I'm not a LIV fan simply due to the source of the $$$.)

Honest about what? That they play to get paid and guaranteed is better than not? I guess I don't understand the outrage.

Most of the LIV guys I've heard basically said in one form or another, "I had to do what's right for my family. The money was too good to pass up."

A chance

Alabama is WAY overrated going into this season.

I told my plants that I love them.
Now they're rooting for me!

I'll just leave this here for no real reason whatsoever:

Likewise. No desire to watch, but to make it some big deal because they don't respect the game seems misplaced. All pros get paid and that factors high in what they do, or they would pay to play like the rest of us. I think the Saudi association is a reasonable concern, but there are lots of folks in bed with them...including those in high office.

I'll also say that I just can't get into the format. It's like someone said, "You know, golf sucks. How can we make it more like an F1 broadcast?" But doesn't mean that others won't love it. Different stroke for different folks.

Different strokes.

Strokes.

Poster Completely changed the narrative to try and make his reasoning better lol

Don’t bring home to work
Simple as that
I’m not paid to be a shrink or therapist when I’m at work
Get the job done and go back to your doom and gloom when your off the clock

It blows my mind that the Charmin crowd just assumes the guy in charge was just being a dick, when they have no idea how long that guy has been putting up with that guys .

Before the 07 crash I had up to 60 guys working for our commercial flooring company in Florida...everybody that worked hard and well loved working for me...the lazy ass loafing whiny excuse makers didn't, but they never lasted long, I didn't put up with their stupid bull....I could not afford to with contracts ranging from 30 G up to a quarter million riding on good professional work getting done right and on time.

I assumed that was the kind of prick the OP was dealing with...the Charmin commie side assumes the worker is being mistreated...says a lot about their indoctrination.

When everything went belly up for us in early 07...I made sure the installing crews got paid FIRST before anybody else including myself, and when we went bankrupt, I personally lost everything, my home, my vehicles...furniture and my name...everything except for what really mattered in the end...my wife and children...and I honestly almost lost my mind while frantically trying to hold it together, but one thing I didn't do, I didn't fold, I did not go into a hole and just being a whiny baby about it, we packed up what we had left and moved to Alabama where my BiL got me a job working for 10 dollars an hour for the construction company he worked for...and I am thankful to this day for that job.

That's not what they are saying

 

[Orange_Crush]

That's not what they are saying

When your BIL got you the $10/hr job, would you have left for more money, less anxiety and more enjoyment at work? It sounds like that's what Phil did.

 

[PYSCHO]

Heck man. According to this board back in the day Cecil Cherry was going to be an All American.

With new schedule, fans have to readjust to seeing 8-4 as a high quality season

Um absolutely not. 8 wins regardless of the schedule is nothing more than a decent season. Why should we downgrade our expectations because of a schedule? You think UGA, TX or Bama are gonna lower their expectations?

Omg...THAT is what you got out of that?...that post had nothing to do with this LiV argument. You guys think LiV is awesome...I think it sucks and has done great damage to the game and the career legacies of the guys that went there, and I can't wait until it f'n dies.

I don't, or more correctly..can not..really blame them for taking that money though. Phil, Bubba and Dustin were on the downhill of their careers and got more money for a few years of playing crap gimmick golf than they probably made in their whole career, and the other mid-tier PGA guys that took the Saudi money were never going to make that kind of money in their PGA career...so I get it..

I wish LiV had never happened, I would love to see Brooks, Patrick and Bryson out there with the other great players that stuck with the tour.

I hope at some point LiV goes under and everybody gets back together....but with the Saudis evidently being able to just burn billions with absolutely no care if there is any return...It probably will just go on ruining a few great players Hall of Fame legacy chances.

Also...to the point of this post, instead of running down the real tour, where guys have to play real full 72 hole tourneys, against a full field of card carrying members, and therefore have real tests every week...just be freaking honest and tell the truth of your sutuation.

"Hey I like it here, I have absolutely no anxiety anymore, because it's basically just silly exhibition golf where I don't have to work extremely hard to earn the big money or to stay on tour...hell I make obscene guaranteed money whether I play great or not, If I basically sleepwalk all day, I still get paid....and that is awesone and relaxing"
