45 years old and never been married, with some effeminate mannerisms. Draw your own conclusions.
He’s following the fashion trend I set in the 5th grade 35+ years ago.
It’s probably best that his swastika arm band was at the cleaners this weekend.
It’ll definitely make it easier to cheer for Tiger . . . but this guy doesn’t look like a hippy to me.
I’ve always thought of it as being the foot print of the great “American Chicken”.
BUMP!
…Conclusions appropriately drawn…
Let’s not lower ourselves to Daily Kos level ad hominems and Nazi invocations. Being a pacifist, though arguably immoral on face, does not make one a homosexual. Is there nothing more substantive to discuss?

Now, don't you feel like an idiot?
Except, of course, that he is actually married and has three kids.
From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning. And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Let me guess, you've got a problem with the word pompous too.
BTW, does the PGA have any rules as to what constitutes appropriate attire at a PGA event?
Could you wear something like a Whoopie Goldberg "Eat My Bush" t-shirt?
LOL! I had a white belt with a silver Eisenhower dollar coin buckle back around 1974 (I was 11.) It came from Sears, along with my Budweiser logo sheets. I miss the '70s.
I didn;t see that on TV and I watched most of the US Open.
But he seems sane and didn;t act like a jerk and gave us an Iraq war sermon when he was interviewed. I still prefer Tiger to kick his arse tomorrow though...
Sure it isnt the Mercedes Benz symbol?
Good thought! Did a google for mercedes benz belt buckle. This isn’t one - but you CAN buy one. They only have three prongs - but I had to look. I drive a Chevy.
I admire Tiger for his skills, but, I have to say, he needs to tone his emotions down.
I've been golfing since I was 11. I understand the frustration of the game. And I can't imagine it if I were playing for millions of dollars.
Tiger needs to calm himself a bit. I rarely see other professionals kicking their bag, or yelling as much at themselves as he does. IMHO, it sets a bad example for kids coming up in the sport. I'm far from a wet blanket, but golf is different. Some decorum is part of the game.
I went into a Macys (first time in decades) dept store and laughed at the womens shoe section.
All my platform wedge shoes were on display from the 70’s.
Oh and Macys has gone green big time.
Enough of the big city for this gal and had fun taking respite overnight from my care duties but Dorthey there is no place like home. (the secluded remote rural rugged coast and our tourist junk stores are better then the big city)
I think he uses it to cheat. (Okay - line my legs up with those lines so they’re this far apart...the club goes straight down the middle....and keep my head up!) ;)
My 11 year old son's sneakers are serious retro '70s. So is his haircut. Looks just like me in '74.
What goes around comes around, I guess.
I can think of something worse and better (tasteless/classless regardless) than Whoopie wearing that slogan shirt.
Imagine Joy Bayer
Imagine Elizabeth the blonde conservative at the other end of the View table.
Please, my MD says I need to keep my BP down. She's smokin'.
He must be a democrat so i’ll be rooting for Tiger, a solid conservative.
Oh, the fist pump?
I agree, it’s too nutty to watch. let’s put it this way...
Tiger is SUPPOSED to win, and expected to win. He’s human, and that fist pump is just a release from the pressure of the world on his shoulders.
So going back, I really wished he would react with more “decorum”. If I was lee Westwood, I would feel the same way as you.
Rocco can now go to hell in my book.
PGA Tour is loaded with conservatives, this makes some of the effete European players very nervous, like Geoff Ogilvy.
Geoff Ogilvy, the affable and well-read Australian who won the US Open and has lived in Arizona with his Texan wife for four years, says: “A lot of their conservative views are way off the map . . . I think George Bush is a bit dangerous. I think the world is scared while he’s in office, there’s less tolerance of diversity over here people have more blind faith in their government.”
Notice any time an actor, musician, etc., in this case golfer come up with a liberal position they are “well read”.
I have a wish.
Next time Joy interupts her so rudely she looses it and punches Joy so hard in her pie hole her head does a bobble.
Elizabeth show Great Restraint sitting up on that panel of goobers.
You are thinking of ski jumping where you get points for distance and style. In golf, only the strokes count...
But, I'll admit, that a genius in his work may be a bit...overcome by the moment. One needs only to look at Mozart.
Tiger needs to reel it in emotionally when he makes a mistake. Just my opinion.
They did a bit for urban chillen to discover golf and see the benefit of getting an education to boot.
Tiger's tantrums must be taken in stride. Outbursts of exhuberance or frustration come naturally to some. Probably diet induced.
Not a very gracious response to someone who didn’t get your joke....
Yeah, he's so conservative that he almost ruined Fuzzy Zoeller's reputation for telling a 50 year old joke.
He's a bit too "sensitive" in my book.
The ONLY reason he refused to heed the call of Bill Clinton was because he (and his handlers) know that golf is the game of conservatives, and couldn't afford to piss them off.
As Michael Jordan said, after refusing to shill for the 'Rats, "Hey, Republicans buy my shoes, too."
See. My tagline was right...
He’s sponsored by Mercedes. That’s a Benz logo. Rocco is a conservative.
Au contraire... My bad. Watching yesterday I just assumed it was a Benz logo. Looking at it more closely. That is a peacenik symbol... Go Tiger!
Thanks for the info. I've wanted to like Geoff, but this fixes that. I don't pull for people who don't pull for my people. And Rocco's belt buckle was enough to scratch him off my list. Truth be known, I was hoping Appleby would hang in there, but his short putting stunk.
Also, that looks like something a naive, pop culture kid would give their dad on Father’s Day. If that’s the case more power to him for having the guts to wear it despite how silly it appears.
He said that tomorrow's playoff would be serious as well as fun: "It's OUR NATIONAL championship." I've never heard any other golfer speak of it that way. As a major, or as an important tournament, or such, but never noting that it is the UNITED STATES Open. To me, that bespeaks a bone-deep patriotism, certainly started by his father and, IMHO, reflected in many of his other activities.
Rocco is a decent man. He’s been on the tour for 20 years and has never pissed anybody off. If he wants to wear a peace symbol belt buckle, more power to him.
Of course it is a peace symbol... but even peaceniks get confused... see the Mercedes symbol at peace gatherings a lot... because they are just plain stupid. Self explanatory.
Not sure about the symbolism of the belt buckle, maybe he just liked it or it was a fathers day present.
I am still rooting for Rocco... Tiger is a little too full of himself. His antics at 18 were over board... he didn’t win with that putt, but merely extended play. Rocco was right, he made Tiger make that putt... just to continue the contest.
(Yeah, he’s so conservative that he almost ruined Fuzzy Zoeller’s reputation for telling a 50 year old joke.)
Tiger didn’t call him out on that until after the media roasted Fuzzy for it. Fuzzy should never have said it!
Tiger is a product of a modern age of golf technology and courses, raised from birth to be a golfer.
My golf heros are Hogan, Sarazen, Jones,
Nicklaus, Palmer... not necessarily in that order.
Tiger needs to rein in the emotions when he doesn’t hit every shot perfectly, it is a game , after all.
I will give him credit for playing on a knee that looks to be a bit tender. He could still whip most of the field on crutches.
He was interviewed yesterday and remarked about his children???
That's an understatement.
adeodatus, please accept my apologies.
Sweet! Thanks, hole_n_one, for your FReeperish reply.
