Mickelson was just a guy! And after my experience with him at the Western Open, he's a Trump voter
Entitled punk! And he treats EVERYONE badly if the camera isn't on him!

We could have tag teamed and given him the ass kicking that punk deserved!
The way he treated the "little people" was disgusting!
The only reason why he didn't treat me like a plebe was the rules official badge! I hate that fraud!

and said he was okay. Today my buddy says he just didn't catch the country club snide asshole element to him.

On edit - his sponsors are the worst. Exxon and at one point Bearing Point - the rubber$tamp consultants who signed off on everything in Iraq.

as a guy that was just fine finishing in second place. And I always laugh out loud when he misses one of those "money putts" from 4 feet.

Then it's not a hazard and the mulch is a loose impediment
If it's a staked area, then no touching the mulch

I remember Stewart Cink got what I would call a 'good ol' boy' ruling at the Heritage where he was allowed to dig a moat around his ball in a waste bunker.

Remember 20 people moving a boulder out of Tiger's way? But you and I can't move a ball in a bunker that is a footprint of someone else who was too lazy to rake the trap!
I passed the rules official test some years back, but I find them actually unfair now.
I just laugh at the typical club player who treats that book like the bible not even realizing it contradicts itself

He's a natural right-hander who plays left-handed. His father taught him that from the get-go, and the theory makes sense. I'm kinda surprised that we are not seeing other young golfers doing it.

Beyond that, he can go pound sand in a bunker for all I care.

Surprised he's not in prison yet.

Also, Tiger and Roy have recently played golf with the unelected Orange Nazi. So fuck all of them
