The settlement is clearly designed to keep him around the school and appease the TOM OR IM OUT folks.
I'm sure VINCE will love having the bastard looking over his shoulder all the time... and just wait until his first Kragthorpe. Phil Fulmer would blush at that opportunity.

Jokes aside, there is NOTHING harder in professional golf than trying to Monday qualify for a PGA Tour event. For Barbasol, it'll probably take 68 or better, most likely, for an Am or Pro with no status to make it out of the pre-qualifier to even get in to the Monday qualifier field filled with Web.com and higher-level mini-tour guys, then a 65 or so at Keene Run to actually make the field.
Most weeks, a Web.com guy who's low on the money list will try to Monday in to a Tour event, then when they don't make it, they'll drive overnight from the Tour stop to the Web event, get a couple practice rounds in, and play Thursday-Sunday (if they're lucky), then drive from there back to the next Tour event to start the whole process over. It's not surprising so many guys burn out quickly.
When I was younger, I used to think mini-tour life would be kind of fun, but now I realize that unless you're a fully exempt player on the PGA Tour with the money to travel comfortably and take a few weeks off throughout the year to rest, it's a pretty brutal way to try to make a living.
Monday qualifier is at Boone's Trace (University Club holding Pre-Qualifier). They will eat up Boone's Trace.
They are already letting the rough thicken/grow, along w/ certain areas that will not be mowed (heather-like) #13 likely to be a par 4 for this as well. Will be set up very well, and the super there feels as if a 64 will be the mark. Big hitters still need to be careful of OB on half a dozen holes where they can let it loose. Should be a fun round to watch.
The Summit (now The Pearl 
) hosted the pro-am for the Victoria National Web.com event. A guy who was an alternate in the event won the pro-am with a -10 62. Had never seen the course before, has made like $1,600 for the year, and the course was set about as long as they could get it at 6950.
Our course isn’t the most difficult course in the world, but it’s not a complete joke either. It’s just obscene how good those guys are, even the ones who are never going to sniff the PGA tour.

I will never call that place The Pearl. ![[eyeroll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/rolleye/rolleye0011.r191677.gif "Eye roll [eyeroll]")
Wtf did they do that, and was there not an outrage?

It happened before I joined. My understanding is the new owner wanted to be able to have the website as TPC Owensboro, which, if true, is simply the dumbest idea in the history of the world. I still can’t bring my self to call it The Pearl, and likely never will. It’s embarrassing to be honest.
It turned around so quickly I think it’s an intentional layer to it.
Or this is what Beavis and Butthead IRL do these days- sync videos to catchy pop songs until they get a hit.
Either way I appreciate the art.
I don’t know who comes up with it, but if you were more studious in your Twitterfolllwship of GYERO’s resident tastemaker you would’ve seen that clip five days ago. smdh
It definitely feels like a honeypot.

Don't see the issue. Most all great golfers ponder chasing their dream at some point...knowing full well the chances are slim. Lots of those dudes get sponsors and give it a go, we knew several who did that...and if/when it doesn't work they begin 'real life'. The ones that do make it get to play golf for a living until they retire. Seems like a good gamble to me if you think you have the game.
PTI(pti) poking fun at someone for their idea of fun is pretty ironic, btw.

Really messed up at work this time gang. 2 dudes come into the bar about 20 before close to eat . Guys asks me to describe the chicken sandwich....ummm okay. It’s grilled chicken between a bun with lettuce tomato and onion(you know exactly what the menu says if he bothered to read it).
He says what else? I said have you had a chicken sandwich before? He replies yes and I say that’s it man, it’s just a chicken sandwich. They order eat and bolt leaving a 15 cent tip (which is fine with me I’m just ready to leave).
Well apparently that guy slept on it and woke up the next day deciding he needed something down about my terrible chicken sandwich description. Talks to the GM for 10 MINUTES about this chicken sandwich and how I suck at describing it. GM apologizes and hopes he comes back.
GM comes and asks me about it, I confirm all details and we have a chuckle about the absurdity of the whole thing. The best part was the guy made sure to let the GM that he is in fact THE BASSIST FOR BLUE OYSTER CULT!!!!! Before you fall down reading that and how crazy it is that I slang beer for rock and roll royalty, he was in fact that guy because they were playing in town the following day.
Just found it hilarious that someone could be so mad about a chicken sandwich description to take ten minutes out of their day to call back.
Also, that he made sure to drop Blue Oyster Cult like anyone gives half a touch about those guys at this point.
Also, that people think that calling the restaurant the next day does anything. You’re not actually getting anyone in trouble, ever, at least not a long tenured good quality employee. We’re going to apologize, have a sit down with said employee yada yada when in reality we’re making fun of you caring that much about a $12 chicken sandwich you ate at 1045pm.

I bet cops never have to put up with such tomfoolery.
You should've asked him where the guy with the cowbell was.
I obviously didn’t, Doc. I just hope he had enough sustenance from he chicken sandwich to get through one more performance of that song.
Not doing the cop thing fella, chase made sure of that.

Just found out the rod busters installed some dowels incorrectly in a location that was indicated as a fall protection gaurd rail. Turns out it will be nicer as a masonry knee wall for all involved as the mason will be over there anyway. Whew.Really messed up at work this time gang. 2 dudes come into the bar about 20 before close to eat

We should have a contest to see who can come up with the least interesting work story. So far rogue is wearing the yellow jersey.
I mean, you could have told them you knew a guy that was poultry royalty.
Out of nowhere, I’m buying some BÖC gear. Much respect for their chicken game.
Dad bought a new Porsche yesterday, Pope. Suck on that. Octuple bypass recovery gift to himself, I believe.
That’s actually a stunt drxman will likely one up, and soon.
Probably upgrade the everyday driver after his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis for good measure, too.
