"My actions are unimportant. Let me back on the team!"
Sadly I can see him winning this. The courts have decided in recent years that they are now the ultimate arbiter of rules of a game.
Maybe instead of suing, he should stop whinig and maybe face the fact that professional golf is not a career for him.
I wonder who is paying his legal fees, his mother or father. He sounds like a mama's boy.
Give it up, grow up, take it on the chin like a man and learn from the lesson. If you were my son I would cut your allowance and tell him to get a job. There are some lessons you did not learn from growing up famous if not rich.
And I have a clue for you Andrew. It isn't the team that is keeping you from making it big time in the pros. Either it's belief that your can win with your attitude while everyone else is working his but off in training. It could also be that you are a no talent bum.
I can see over-looking one of those incidents, but the coach actually showed quite a bit of restraint in waiting for the fourth incident to put an end to it. Someone needs to mature. Besides, he had a long long ways to go before even thinking about becoming a professional.
rich kids always expect results,
whether they have the talent or motivation or do the work
or not.
Sounds like a spoiled brat.
If you have the respect of your teammates I don’t see how it would be so hard to get them to write a letter of endorsement for you. The fact that 6 said they wanted him off the team and his behavior that he is admitting to is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
He’s probably not that good and obviously has a extremely bad attitude which effects the entire team.
"My actions are unimportant. Let me back on the team!"
Isn’t Andrew the kid who acted up at Rudy’s first mayoral inagruation? Chris Farley did a spoof on SNL that was pretty funny. Sounds and looks like Rudy never disciplined this spoiled brat.
Curious what his major is as the article didn’t state.
He and his actions along with team rankings got in the middle of a team reduction process it seems. Someone that only played 6 competitive tournament rounds last year isn’t a major player for the team. I don’t remember the number of players a school uses in a tournament but six or so I think. Thus on a 14 man squad with him in the lower half he’s got to have other things to help retain him on the roster. Sounds like the new coach is planning for the future by eliminating a senior with low team rankings..
DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM???
I know a young man who was recruited out of HS to play for a college team that has some 25+ NCAA championships in men's golf. The rigors these players must exhibit is phenomenal. Not only must they maintain a better than passing GPA, they have to be physically fit and mentally sharp, besides contribute to the team morale. Just wondering which of these qualities "Precious Little Snowflake" Andrew failed to exhibit.
Not only is college golf extremely competitive, but you only need one or two bad games and the coach is eyeing you to kick you off the first team.
Then down the road, I’ve seen the men who try to make the PGA event qualifiers. Many of them came out of college golf programs. Many of them wear tattered clothing, live out of a beat-up trailer or car; a few drag their families along. It’s a pretty poor and humbling life. But they hope to get a break; sometimes they need more than one to get a card.
After all this rambling, my point is this, you can’t buy your way into the PGA [if that’s your goal.] It has to be earned with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. There are so many excellent golfers out there that you need to be extremely talented to make it into the top tier. No amount of money can buy that. Only hard work and phenomenal talent can earn you a spot.
But then the Giulianis didn't ask me. ;-D
