Did I mention I don't think you actually play golf.
I don't doubt he plays golf.

There are thousands who couldn't care less about the integrity of the game or know anything about the actual rules out on the links every day, some of whom are actually pretty good.

You all seriously should do some internet searching for Elkington's interviews on Rome. Truly some of the funniest most awesome stuff you'll hear in sports radio.

yeah it was all spinny lol. How do you explain it....it was so loose that you could poke it with one finger and it would move. Like all of the weight of the piece of tree was at the bottom and the branches were the only thing in the way.

I guess that's my question because I really could not take a stance without pushing it with my leg and having the thing move completely out of the way. Just didn't know if you could "take a stance" and move crap in a hazard.

Yeah saying people didn't know just doesn't cut it. Mark Hensby once went into the 2007 Fry's Electronics Open needing a top 2 in order to keep his card for the next year because he forgot to send in his Q-School App.

Then Chad Campbell flew to Hawaii to play in the Sony Open a couple years ago and hadn't sent in his registration.

I have decided that Elk is awesome. So at least something positive came out of all of this.

I first listened to Rome when it was 4 hours a day of Orenthal material. He was occasionally very funny/entertaining/good interviewer. But I tired of his act to the point where hearing his voice creates an immediate need to change the channel-- and I am not going back. I haven't heard more than a few seconds of his voice in a few years, and haven't listened to more than a segment or two of his show in over a decade. My loss, no doubt. Thanks for trying to reopen my eyes.

elk has also been spending a lot of time with sevam1 and that martinez guy from golfwrx.. there are a bunch of videos on http://www.dirters.com of them explaining certain fundamentals and philosophies of the golf swing and whatnot.

I tried listening to some of elkington's past appearances on the jim rome show, but i don't feel like subscribing to his site for them.

Why is he a "former" golf forum contributor? Did nitBO chase him off?

Guess former is too cryptic, but I haven't seen him around here in awhile.

I agree, but don't call it a trap.

Have I ever chased off a poster with more than two golf brain cells?

The best of Elk. The Monty and Daly stories are hilarious.
