Norman. 2 times Open Champion.

Disagreed on exemption decision.

Would have been a great drawing seed (along with S. Lyle who was required to play qualifier)

The Deep Golf State is not pleased with Greg Norman, two-time winner of the British Open and CEO of the Saudi-sponsored LIV Tour, the pro circuit directly challenging the PGA Tour. We saw Phil Mickelson get the same cold treatment.

Golf gets political.

McVicker a college chum was a scratch golfer who couldn’t make the team. Why? No clout. Used a beater vinyl royal stewart bag, old Ram cut out set 4,5,7,9 SW and 1,3 5 Woods with a retired “putt-putt” putter... he played like a possessed caddy/range ball monkey, out played everybody... and the coach couldn’t figure him out... so instead of enjoying his talents... he beat the tar outta the team players one by one off season, nobody could touch this guy.

I heard he was a BMW motorcycle mechanic years ago. He was purty good at chess and math. Strummed a bit of guitar too.

Around April he applied for the main draw entry.

Was denied.

And now this...dis-invited to the Champions Dinner.

Yep. Very.

And they parade with logos sponsor logos all over the course.

Many themes here:

Age discrimination comes to mind also. He appears quite healthy.

When Bill Clinton somehow broke his ankle, was he not a guest at the Norman
house?

Interesting Phil Mickelson (still playing in main draw) declines Champions Dinner attendance.

Tee times start Thursday the 14th.

I still recall the article the next day started out: Bill Clinton, still in high spirits.

The old boy drunk as a skunk when fell down.

Ok.

At Norman’s website shark.com he has a very upbeat writing on Trump.
