I don't blame the police at all, I'm sure Scheffler drove like a maniac around the accident rather than take it slow and show some respect for the officers forced to be out there
Really? How could you possibly be SURE of that.
Obviously we dont know exactly what "the officer attached himself to the car" means. (and if he was holding on and Scottie kept driving and dragged him, that's obviously not ok) but 99.9999% chance this was just a misunderstanding compounded with it being dark and rainy and things just got out of hand. I seriously doubt Scottie just said "Oh well....gotta get to the putting green" and slalomed through a police barricade doing 30.
I'll tell you why...for the exact reasons I cannot even believe I'm reading...
In this day and age where police are under scrutiny to start with, I assume if it got to that level and they told everyone watching that he was going to jail no getting around it, figured he did not do exactly what they asked or expected of him.
We're talking about the #1 golfer in the world and we've seen what Tiger has done in the past, I put nothing pat golfers, played 18 holes a week ago and saw some crazy stuff while I was out there, just assumed but OK, let's give SS the benefit of the doubt, sure
-I live in Jupiter/Palm Beach, golf capital it seems and I run/part-owner of a small craft beer store on the weekends, tons of golf folks in the store when I'm there...they can be very assumptive sometimes because they seem to have the funds to make any issues go away
Just my experiences
Ok....so because a bunch of schmuck weekend hackers and rich Florida people acted like idiots.....you're SURE that Scottie Scheffler (who before this incident had a SPOTLESS record of conduct and by all accounts is like the nicest guy on tour despite also being the best player) "drove like a maniac" and disrespected the police. A good history doesn't mean he maybe wasn't partially (or even totally. We dont know yet) in the wrong here.....but you're SURE?.....because "you put nothing past golfers"
Makes plenty of sense.
Actually, most of the golfers until about now are largely made up of snowbirds from New York, are you familiar with that state?
Let's dial it down a notch, take it down a level and stop with the Florida bashing, think this took place in Kentucky
Normally a fan Telef but you are being a hot head for no particular reason
Cheers
You're the one who brought up the behavior of the golfers in your neck of the woods as some sort of weird "proof" that Scheffler probably did something wrong. (since....ya know...he's a golfer too) Not me.
Your original stance was that you were "sure that Scheffler drove like a maniac around the accident" and disrespected the police. The idea that you could be SURE of that was absurd man. Using behavior of local golfers (or Tiger Woods for that matter. What does one guy's behavior have to do with the other?) that you've seen to support that crazy statement made absolutely zero sense. Some drunk bros acting like idiots on the course "because Saturdays are for the Boys!!!11" means absolutely nothing when we're talking about what Scheffler may or may not have done.
And with all due respect (I have absolutely no issue with you at all. You're always a positive contributor to the Jets thread and generally a good sport IMO), you calling someone else a hothead is pretty much the definition of
Not proof friend, just my experience
It doesn't mean nothing, you're right
But it's all true the way I tell it
You paint it how you like but if you scroll up to where
@IvanKaramazov and I had our exchange you can clearly see I am speaking both sides
I'm just asking you to relax, it feels like I'm taking heat for even thinking about the backing the police, if you read it slowly I think you might find I lean more towards your side
It just feels like the "MoP" is a lightning rod at the moment, we'll do our best to not pour gas on open fires but please, just take the dutchie from my hands and relax
-If you say the cops were jack holes, OK...I feel like had I backed SS blindly, I woulda taken heat for that.
I was just trying to have fun at the expense of the #1 golfer in the World, let's have a little perspective and not get all up in arms
Again, i thank you and love your work in the Jets threads
