The events at the U.S. Open and the fact that I am
celebrating 75 years on this earth today started me thinking about a few thins
this morning.
Number one on my list, which was highlighted this weekend at
Oakmont CC, was large organizations made up of petty bureaucrats exerting
influence where it is totally unwarranted. The two bureaucrats on the
“committee” that decided to insert their totally unwanted and unwarranted
opinion on the events that transpired on the fifth green. These two asshats
decided that they needed TV time so the stuck their noses into an area where
they were not needed. The matter had already been adjudicated by their walking
official and the two competitors that had first hand knowledge of the
situation. Today we have the Executive Director, who was conspicuously absent
from the real-time controversy flippantly calling their actions a “bogey” and
asking for a “mulligan”. At the same time he says that they got the decision
right, apparently he has better eyesight and knowledge of the situation than
the multitude of professional golfers that referred to the situation and
decision as a farce.
