Where are we on the medical issue? Maybe Finchem should tell us the "tour's" side. Like Beman before him the PGA continues to do dtupid thoughtless things, never gets punished or called out for it due to fear of members and takes all the credit for growing the game when it is the pros and their personalities responsible for our love of the game. You are right on with the Ping thing and the Thorpe issue. I'd give anything if you and Mac O'Grady were allowed to state your cases (along with others). I might not agree but would like to hear your viewpoint. One only needs to look at the failures of Carolyn Bivens on the LPGA side and wonder when Finchem gets his just due. Hope that you and Scott Simpson continue to represent the true golfers as you always have, you are lucky to be pros but the fans like me pay for the Policy Board's shortcomings. Let me know about the signatures/petition thing. I'll help if we need to. rward0621@yahoo.com Ken,

It provides a unique insight on issues that we most likely could not or would not hear otherwise. Keep 'em coming. Ed I really enjoyed this post, Ken.

Couldn't agree more with your opinions, and the idea of playing with legal equipment and being called a 'cheater' by a guy with a putter longer than his driver was pretty ridiculous. Not sure about those clubs spinning less, but I know it's not a big deal. And Jim Thorpe is really a sad thing. I can't believe the Tour needed to suspend him, and it's so stupid. Like a year in jail isn't bad enough!! He's a big strong guy, but it will be tough for him to come back. He'll still be exempt and hopefully he'll be able to do it. It sure is an amazing thing the tour membership did immediately for you and Chris, and shows that even those young guys understand the true spirit of the game. We sure are blessed to be pro golfers. All the best to you and Mr. Munch, and hope you keep getting better slowly but surely. Keep up the great blogs!! Scott Hey Buddy,

This post was quite interesting...being able to hear the opinions from a guy who has been in the trenches for so long was very refreshing. Definitely not spit shined and polished by an agent before being released....keep it coming. Swing by WPCC next time you are O-Town....would love to say hi again. Be well and keep on keepin on!

Sometimes sitting on the sidelines for awhile gives very insightful perspective whether it is golf or life. No way should Thorpe go to jail for IRS woes; IRS is wrong half the time and the other half is lawyer/CPA errors or faults. Keep up your therapy and manage your pain with meds, prayer, stretching exercises, intestinal fortitude. Keep up the blogging. Blessings, Trish You are a breath of fresh air.

It reminds of when you, Billy, Farmer and I would sit around at Fridays and dicusss certain matters regarding the tour and it's Ivory Tower mentality! Looking back maybe Karsten should have burried Finchem and removed him from his "Hi Chair". Best wishes and hope to see you in Augusta in April. CA Good Morning Ken,

Keep it up, nobody would expect anything less. Golf, being the honorable sport that it is, never gets enough criticism, in my opinion. I agree with your opinion on the world rankings. It's graded as if all tours are the same, and they are obviously not. I also agree that Thorpe should not be suspended because he has issues with the IRS. I guess what it comes down to is that he knowingly committed a crime, Tiger only committed a crime against human morality. Keep at it, and remember this, if it's physical, it's therapy.
