There’s a date inscribed on Rory McIlroy’s golf bag this week:

April 18, 1775.

On that date the “shot heard ’round the world” was fired at dawn in Lexington, Mass. The ensuing battle kicked off the American Revolution. You know generally how it went from there.

Reverse, Divide and Conquer !

Back in the day I was a better than scratch golfer and had dreams of being a star on tour. I got inside the ropes but never caught the wave or the ride into the sunset. I did stay in the industry for many years and it was a massive part of my life that lead to lifelong friendships, great stories and unforgettable life lessons.

The love continued as I watched most tournaments on TV and NEVER missed a major. Then the PGA dumped all over Trump. I still go to the driving range a few times a week but have only played a couple of times the last few years. That’s ok though, golf has a very distinct quality that it shares with only a few other things. To this day achieving that perfect strike on the ball and watching its mid flight draw turn over and land softly from its baby fade descent, still feels like the first time…Every. Single. Time.

Defenders of the Tour talk about tradition. When did it become tradition to take political sides and pile on during the left’s ravenous hunger to destroy another person that dares to stand up? Screw the PGA.
