Random Club Thief at Scottish Open

[sethdavidsdad]

Looks like the guy won the bet.

Crazy Dude's Friend "Hey dude, bet you $100 you won't go take Rory's club and hit a shot with it"

Crazy Dude "Make it a $100 and a Six pack and I'll do it"

CDF "Deal"

Article I read said the guy was 35 years old. He looks ROUGH for a 35 year old. 

 

Those Scottish winds must really be getting to him...

That's pretty much the life expectancy in parts of Glasgow.

Dude's definitely got a problem, either mental health or drinking.  Hopefully he gets some help.

Time for the call to Stevie. Harry is a nice guy and all but Stevie would’ve made sure that guy drew black a bloody stump if he made a move for a club.

Stevie and Koepka would have punch out the guy.

Rory gets his clubs for free, big deal

Not to get all "English Professor" on everyone, but these incidents - and the tenor of culture today reminds me a great deal of the mid-to-late 19th century when everyone was all a titter over their inability to tell who a "gentleman" was. Their culture had always equated "gentlemanliness" with a certain economic status, and as a result, any yahoo with a nice suit and watch could pass himself off as one. It caused lots of anxiety and problems.

 

If you want to read a good novel on the subject, this was always one of my favorites:

 

 

I don't know about the 19th century, but I grew up in the 70s.  And it's the 70s all over again.  Everyone is either angry, drunk, or stoned.  Olympic athletes think it's fashionable to disrespect the anthem/flag.  Everyone seems to be protesting something or another.  The CEOs of major companies dress like egalitarian hobos.  And 100% polyester shirts are all the rage.  We need Reagan 2.0.

Yikes, that took and unexpected turn.

I think we can all take some inspiration from the great Keith Richards for how to handle unruly fans.

To be fair these shirts bare little resemblance to those form the 70's in terms of feel of the actual fabric.  I am thinking the shirt I have on now is probably 100% or almost polyester and it is one of the more comfortable and softer shirts I own.

 

No disagreement regarding the second item.

Ya but as a result of everyone being angry drunk and stoned, it gave us clearly the greatest era of music ever

 

 

 

 

As opposed to 80s be like

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think he would have gotten close enough to even touch one of Tiger's clubs, much less, pull it out of the bag. 

[MattyO1984]

The reports were that the guy was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for a mental health assessment, if correct, I hope he is ok. Guy is fortunate Stevie was not on the bag otherwise there would have been some physical health conditions which were more of a pressing concern.

 Johnny was no trickle down or Trickie fan

 

 The old shapeless sponge cotton shirts sucked

[Ghostwedge]

Obviously drunk and stupid, grabbed the driver head cover (without the driver) went back and grabbed a wedge instead. Johnny Long Socks would have lit him up.

 

 

[CasualLie]

Back in the day, no way anyone even gets close to Tiger's bag.  He had so much security that Stevie wouldn't even get a chance to touch the guy.
 

Still... Great video, that was some fantastic entertainment.  See what happens when the Scottish don't get out much because of pandemic!?!?!

[Strategery]

If fans really cared about such bozo behavior, a fan could have stepped in and helped, but no. That is basically condoning what he did.

[dcfas]

Hopefully, all is well. The thing is the guy could have done a lot worse. Wondering where the security is.

what are you clogging up the discussion with nonsense for?

so you know you've been heard, and maybe calm down......

people disagree - sometimes loudly. women got the vote by protesting. new countries have been formed in the same manner. people standing up for themselves and other with similar goals.

 

mind altering products have been used since , I don't know - history was first written, so what's the issue? the first settlers to this nation built a tavern as one of their first projects.

a place to gather, eat, share ideas and yes, drink hard beverages.

 

CEO's dressing poorly? Jamie Dimon would disagree - politely, as would most that gather in conventional Fortune 500 boardrooms. the old guard isn't wearing sweatshirts to exec meetings quite just yet. 

don't even consider that twit Zuckerberg. he isn't wired like the rest of them.

and if you want a cotton shirt , buy one. LLBean is waiting for your order.

 

Reagan was an actor turned politician who wore a suit well but preferred jeans and boots at the ranch. which one do you prefer?

and one of his master strokes was to break PATCO - the air traffic controllers union. I was not impressed.

 

in the 70's you had a car that got 10 miles to the gallon. minimum wage was two dollars an hour.

the gas crisis hit and prime rate was headed into the mid-teens.

reminisce all you want but recall the entire situation.

 

now back to our original discussion.

facts...

[3whacker]

we can joke all we want about the incident but TBH its kinda scary that he got that close and nobody stopped him, there are some sick demented people out there with nefarious deeds in mind, and the first incident will be one too many, fans get closer in golf events than any other sport, maybe its time to rethink that access before something happens to one of our athletes...maybe its time to deliver a message to the nut jobs out there

[iBanesto]

Weird time to do a YouTube WITB segment.

 

Probably should have waited until after the round.

I'm sorry, but when someone mentions Anthony Trollope, my blood begins to boil. I'm OK now.  Where were we?  Oh yes, the 19th century.

No, it just runs down the inside of your shirt and leaves a sweat band around your Sansabelt pants.    😄
