Olympics Golf: The Official Discussion Thread (merged)

The Ryder cup does not have the 'strongest field' but it it creates it fare share of interest. I can see a future that includes players talking about getting there world ranking up so they can qualify for the Olympics that same way they do for the Ryder Cup.

 

And what qualifies you to tell us what players are thinking or will think in the future?

 

Oh, and it's fair not "fare" and their not "there".

 

I've known so many, and so many highly talented, dyslexic people working in the performing arts, that I would never knowingly point out eccentric spelling.

 

And in any case, English is one of the worst languages in the world for odd, senseless spelling. Try Russian for a language that's spelled exactly as it is spoken.

It's not "eccentric", it's incorrect. And yeah, I normally wouldn't have mentioned it, but I'm just having a little fun with this particular poster...

Not surprising that you're also the type of person to correct someone's grammar on a message board.

What I did was state my opinion and not the opinion of what the player think or will think. I am very qualified to tell people what I think.

 

What I did not say is "Justing Rose does not believe X, Y or Z"

Makes things up?

 

Some guy said Rose said he valued the Gold more than the US Open and I agreed. Turns out he said he valued them equally. Then you called him a liar and/or idiot. Then you corrected grammar on a message board.

 

Something tells me you're not looking too good in this one.

And said he'd been saying it in every press conference since Sunday. None of that is true. You made that up. Hence why I said you make up the stuff you post here.

Glad to see you understand the difference between statements of facts and statements of opinion. It wasn't clear from previous posts that you did. With that being said, I fail to understand your arbitrary distinction between the types of opinions you seem to think are appropriate topics for discussion on a message board.

Rose did say of the Olympic win:

 

"That felt better than anything I've ever won," said Rose.

I never said he did (that is someone else). Rose has though been very consistent in saying he placed high value on Olympic Gold. It was actually cool to see him win it after being so vocal about how much he would like to win a gold prior to the event.

 

By the way I don't have a dog in the fight on the relative importance of the Olympics Vs Majors. I am however a believer that Golf in the Olympics is a good thing for Golf and hope it will continue going forward.

That's not true, now is it? In response to me asking another poster for a citation for his assertion that JR said winning the gold meant more to him than any other tournament (including the US Open) you said:

 

"Citation: every Justin Rose press conference since sunday"

It is very true I never said that or anything like that.

 

Zer0 Said what you quoted, not me.

 

 

Citation, please.

[bscinstnct]

This is getting like,

 

[zer0]

 

 

And said he'd been saying it in every press conference since Sunday. None of that is true. You made that up. Hence why I said you make up the stuff you post here.

 

Yes, I was wrong. I misheard him. Turns out he said the gold medal was equally as valuable as the US Open. Then someone else just posted a quote from Rose where he did in fact say that winning the Gold felt better than anything else he's ever won. SO maybe I wasn't so wrong either way.

 

But, either way, who cares? You are obviously in the wrong here when you claim that the Gold medal isn't even close to winning the US Open. THere are plenty of quotes from Rose here stating just how wrong you are.

 

Oh wait, I forgot, you aren't wrong. Rose is liar. No wait, he's an idiot.

 

 

You're really coming off like a total DBag in this thread.

Leave him alone, he's just being an a**. Cliche internet behavior on his part....lose an argument so respond by attacking parts of the argument that have no bearing on the main issue. Or attack grammar.

Please indulge me and make the point you want me to respond to more obvious as I am still not sure what it is. (Not being sarcastic, really have no idea what you are talking about).

 

I am happy to respond. It will be later though, as I am off to golf now.

Ryan Lochte wallet was detected in X-ray scan at Olympic Village just after he said it was stolen claim police in court papers leading judge to order his passport seized - but he is already back in the US

 

 

 

 

http://www.dailymail...e-crime-US.html

• Police arrived to the Olympic Village on Wednesday to seize the passports of Ryan Lochte and Jimmy Feigen
  
• The two men are under investigation for allegedly lying about the robbery they claimed happened Sunday in Rio
  
• The swim team had already moved out of the Village but Feigen may still be in Brazil while Lochte flew home to Florida on Tuesday
  
• The judge's order came after seeing video obtained by DailyMail.com of the laughing men returning to the Village after the robbery
  
• Investigators claim that the X-ray machine at the Village showed the men were in possession of all belongings they said were stolen on Sunday
  
• The two men will now be investigated for the false communication of a crime, which carries a maximum sentence of three years in jail in Brazil
  

 

 

Lochte and Feigen, the only two of the group who have so far given statements to police, claimed they were so drunk they did not know exactly where they were robbed, nor what type of taxi they took to return to the athletes village.

DailyMail.com has learned that police have seized surveillance video from the gas station where the men claimed to have caught their cab, and there is no sign of the four swimmers getting into a vehicle in the early hours of Sunday.

So, when do the men play??
