Don Rea removed (officially) and a Craig Ranch renovation scoring catastrophe: A Bonus Happy Hour of Delights
5/22/202643 min
It was late Friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend, just when everyone should unplug from being online and go about their merry way. And they tried to slip one by us at the PGA of America with a letter to members that Don Rea had been suspended for the remainder of his term. So PJ, Joseph, and Brendan gather for some degenerate hours when they had zero expectation to be online on Friday for a happy hour chat. The Removal of Rea and at the absolute castration of Craig Ranch, where $25 million was spent in part to challenge the pros but scoring is as low as ever with Si Woo Kim almost breaking 60 and Jordan Spieth piling up birdies. Is Lanny Wadkins going to pop off at a soft PGA Tour setup? Will it become a circular firing squad? Would it have been better to light the money on fire? The Boys and Brendan gather to go through these two massive subjects on a Friday evening bonus episode thanks to the breaking news.
