I imagine it was for his latest spittle-flecked, unhinged rant where he took a page from the Nazi playbook (not hyperbole, not exaggeration, not Godwin's Law--actual page from the Nazi playbook) and smeared he who he disagrees with as a pedophile.

He's making a great martyr

Or died eating horse paste

Hey, this just gives him more time to work on the next coup.

[tower912]

He will do his time in the penalty box and then be back.

Let's bring this thread back to laughing at some pro golfers. Thankfully, we have Patrick Reed.

I thought he joined LIV to spend more time at home. Guess not.

I'll admit, I was surprised the outrage, given it is just a 7 day ban, and MU82 got hit for politics in the same thread.  Rocket is also a BIG proponent of enforcing rules/laws.

So I just double checked the ban, and apparently I forgot to click save on the 7 day part.  So, he's still banned, but it'll expire in a few days.  I guess your immature campaign was successful!  lol

Can you blame him for not wanting to spend more time with his psycho wife and her family?

Clearly didn't think through what spending less time traveling with the tour would actually entail

[cheebs09]

Looks like the main motivation is the Asian Tour gives OWGR points. Although, I could definitely see the benefit for Reed traveling without family.

His family probably he realized he would be home more and strongly encouraging he play on any tour that will take him.

Reed can travel freely in Asia?

Actually, I think Patrick is the sane member of that household. That says A LOT.

Oh, you can add name calling to your immature repertoire!  I swear, several of you have regressed to elementary status in your "wise" years.

Played my first round as a golf member at a very nice course in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Man, greens were slick as a greased up porn star though.

3-some played 18 holes in 2:45 between lines of thunderstorms.    Amazing how efficiently the game can be played when you know weather is coming and you are trying to beat it.   

(I hate slow play so much.    Every 5 minutes I spent on a course over 4 hours usually costs me 1-2 shots)

I was talking to my golf pro BIL yesterday about my local muni.  Its not a great course, but its laid out in a way that you can play 9 in 90 minutes pretty consistently.  I once walked 9, by myself in 1:20.  It was incredible.

Golf boom created by Covid is abating, so I'm hoping for slow play to also abate.  I used to belong to a local men's club (Milwaukee public course) and these things are part of the problem.  They treat each shot like they're touring professionals.  On the greens, it's awful.  You guys are playing for shop credit, speed it up.

The last 20-30 years of kids being coached has caused problems, too.  These kids are playing 5-6 hour rounds because they're taught to play that way.  College golf will never be popular because of how slow it is.  I played with a guy for a number of years that played in college and his process was so painful I had to teach myself not to watch and wait until I heard impact

Slow play is the absolute worst Tower.  My biggest pet peeve (and I see it all the time) is when someone waits for the green to clear on say a 550 yrd par 5, after driving the ball 200 yards or less. HIT THE BALL.  Is this really too much to ask?

AJGA does a decent job with pace of play considering you have insane parents around every tee box. However, the college game is an absolute joke. Just off the rails on pace of play.

Once they're out of the AJGA world and the better players are identified, I think that's when we get the problems. 

I've had a couple of experiences this summer at courses with younger players also where they stop at the turn and sit down to eat lunch and have drinks instead of grabbing and going and being perplexed that people want to play through.  There's a problem with common courtesy that permeates all generations and it manifests itself regularly on golf courses
