Gotta of been in the top 5 most famous sponsorship deals in history. Top 2, I’d say. Up there with only Nike x Jordan, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm going to have to learn a new swing after the surgery last year and the fact that I have lost nearly 50lbs (27kg) so I'm an entirely different "shape". Should be fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he is the CEO of the club in Florida where Michael Jordan plays. He was 10 shots worse than everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Peps caddie given him stick about being a waste of an invite ,whilst I agree he needs to remember where the prize cash comes from so a wee invite here and there does no harm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a professional sport, handing out invites to rich folk with egos instead of actual golfers is pish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, he is bringing in sponsorship money but as I say they have pro-am events to "reward" sponsors. He is going to be playing with a couple of pros over the weekend who are probably going through the motions and canna wait for the event to be over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 As I wrote I agree but the big picture is sponsors are pulling out so if this gets more wonga in it's short term pain for long term gain and hopefully the boy has learned he isn't good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can push for a top 30 finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he also have an amateur playing alongside him? He is now 38 over par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Bob out at 9.20pm tonight. He is playing with the wonderfully named Justin Lower - who appropriately just made the cut and no more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I don't expect the american coverage to give much of a monkeys about Bob because why would they, but has he been on the coverage at all? I've only seen bits and bobs over the few days but not seen him yet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people want the DP World Tour to be taken more seriously then they’d do well to bin off pish like this pronto. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Pleased for Fleetwood but Rory has thrown that away. 3 putts from 2 feet on 14 then hooks his drive into the drink on 18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen bits and bobs over the few days but not seen him yet I've made a point of having it at times while Bob was playing and haven't heard him mentioned once never mind see him hit a shot. You could say the same for about 3/4s of the field though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
