    "They’re scary motherf-----s to get involved with," Mickelson reportedly said. "We know they killed [Washington Post reporter Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.
    "They’ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse. As nice a guy as [PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan] comes across as, unless you have leverage, he won’t do what’s right. And the Saudi money has finally given us that leverage. I’m not sure I even want [the Saudi golf league] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour."

    So honesty equals cancel. He should have held his ground. Even the leftists can agree that he should be pissed about human rights issues which include the killing of gay people. $ makes the world go around.

    Some guy in Tennessee lit my phone up with texts sometime after 11:00 last night. I started to block the number but I figured I’d let him know he was ranting to the wrong person. :lol:

    What a day so far, grandson was up at 2am, then up up at 4:15. Then later this morning the wash machine just quit working. My daughter did not bring the grandson's back pack of toys that he wanted. Impossible to get his trucks unstuck out of the play dough with out his skid steer. Yes I am a grandpa that spoils, when he took a nap I went to town and over spent at the hardware store to get him a skid steer. On the plus side the lad wanted to get his winter stuff I thought he wanted a 4 wheeler ride, nope he wanted to shovel snow, and he wanted me to shovel too. The kids idea of playing is working.

    I should not have gone and shot new bows when I don’t have the money for one. A new pro shop opened up this past summer, only one in the area to carry Prime bows. I shot the Inline 5 maxed out at 82.5lbs. With a 90% let off, drew about the same as my 70lb Hoyt but had a way more solid back wall. Not having $1800 for the bow and accessories. Bare bow was $1249. :rant:
