this happened to my friend. total hack. well ok, decent golfer but probably shoots low-mid 80's. fully amateur, loves playing all the amateur tourneys, club championships, etc. won a car on a hole in one. thus has to be declared a pro for 2 years iirc.

But i just find he doesn't come across well, i have no idea why he puts himself in the public eye has he has zero charisma and not much appeal And comes accross douchey sometimes thats why he gets bashed mostly, some jealousy but mostly cause his public persona is not avery likable character

this is pretty much the final word on all things leatherass

The majority of really good golfers are major douchebags....nothing new here

The fact that the US Open ends Monday or Tuesday strongly suggests this is golf related and he either has been forbidden or chosen not to talk about it until after then.

Didn't his blog come out before they knew that the open would take that long?

I used to be a huge fan until I read his blog and it was just nonstop complaining coming from one of the more fortunate people I know of.

Also once I saw the youtube video of positive energy and stuff and then tried it and realized it was all in his head and he really seemed to believe it I became a bit sad.

i used to be a fan until i saw the first 5 seconds of any one of his videos. actually i was never a fan, but damn its hard to imagine why he doesn't use the anonymity of the internet to his advantage.

maybe they think he elbow pumped too much during the golf championship and they disqualified him for being a douchebag

his news is probably so big he didn't want to distract people from the US open... this seems like the most likely thing.

I don't get how a guy with an attorney and press agent doesn't know that publicly offering a million dollar bet involving golf jeopardizes his amateur status. Read the rules man. Even more perplexing is how distraught he would be over this. What amateur career? He recently finished 62nd and missed the cut in the Pasadena City. The kid he dismissed as some "random kid" was top 10.

I'm beginning to think Dusty is over stating his golf ability. I am sure no reasonable pro would have lost a 9 hole match against him in the 36 holes he played in this tournament.
