Handling his Bishop? Naughty boys.

But seriously...I saw this story a few weeks back and applauded Watson’s decision and remarks.

So Ian Poulter cried over the “lil girl” remark? Free speech is dead in the PGA too I guess.

Should have called him a pantywaist instead but probably would have gotten the panty industry in an uproar!

Bishop had just three weeks remaining on his two-year term as president . Wonder who in the PGA of America could not wait three weeks?

Good for Tom Watson! I guess I’ll add Ian Poulter to my list of golfers I will never root for. He joins Bubba Watson.

The PGA of America and the PGA Tour are two completely different and separate organizations.
