Okay, take a look at the Jomez cover shot of Simon and Peter McBride. If these guys aren't long lost brothers I'll eat my hat. Provided it's made out of beer of course.

You are the one who took the statement "Wysocki should know better" and turned it into someone being called a baby. Damn right I was calling him out, just as i would anyone else. You are extrapolating a whole lot more from it though. No one "misled" you- you just got butthurt over something you read into what was a concise, clear statement.
Consider me a "good person" or not, I have been there done that on the TD/volunteer burnout thing and pissing/whining from players is a considerable factor.

Simon is quoted in the article as saying he supported stopping. He finished T-2.

True Story
I belong to several clubs in WI. Before leaving FB, I followed almost all of the WI clubs. I witnessed this pattern of behavior frequently, unfortunately. The one exception is a small, private club that I belong to :thmbup:
Heck, read enough threads here, and you may notice similar behavior. Perhaps in this thread, even

As someone who has complained about both the quality of footage and commentary in the past few years I just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed watching Jomez coverage with Big Jerm and Nate Sexton doing commentary. The video coverage has really come a long way in the past few years. Those 2 guys do an excellent job of keeping commentary exciting, educational and informative without being too silly or stupid. Great job all involved.
FTFY
On the subject, it definitely sounds like the right call was made, although it sucks that it cleared up afterwards. Thunderstorms are no joke, so erring on the side of caution is, IMHO, the better move.
I don't have one little problem at all with what Ricky said. Y'all really got a case of the Mondays.
Perhaps you have a case of the fanboys.
You don't understand how the other competitor's safety should be more important than Wysocki's desire to keep playing (and hopefully win more money)?
Or how the final round just couldn't be further delayed?
Had he been in first place, do you think he would have raised the same fuss?

Can't agree more.
Jomez' choice of commentators over the last few events has been stellar.
Especially enjoy Jerm's easy, relaxed, homey commenting.
He is a lot like Sexy in that way.
Big Sexy commentary was fantastic.
Hardly a case of the fanboys. More a case of a bunch of pussies scared to play in mud. I understand why the decision was made, but agree with Ricky. Get some cleats bitches and deal with it.

Just throwing my props to Steve Dodge, Matt Siri, and the whole crew for thinking of safety before all else.
As was previously stated, "Lightning will kill you." So will falling branches, trees, or freaking tornadoes (which spawned only a little ways east)

While Simon made mention of the mud being a concern to him and his surgically repaired knee, my understanding is that they delayed play because of lightning and wind creating dangerous conditions. And then they called it off when they reached the point where even if they started the round, finishing it in daylight was unlikely.
Nothing to do with being scared to play in the mud.

I think you and I have a different notion of butthurt. I get it from spicy food. You seem to get it when people don't agree with you.
You talk about my extrapolation and then go on to extrapolate a whole ton of things I didn't say. I simply said, cut them some slack. Sport is new, they're young at this. I acknowledged they need to learn management, and I posted that it couldn't be restarted, contrary to Ricky's position, not in any logical way.
We all know that being careful in such situations and doing the right thing for safety sake, is essential. Calling a 21 year old guy out cause he says something silly, based on youth and inexperience, isn't nearly as profitable as supporting the decision and supporting the PDGA when it supports such decisions IMO.
Now, I had spicy Thai last night and I'm feeling a little butthurt so I think I'll go visit the porcelain god.
Could have finished on Monday. That's what real golf tournaments do---oops there's the fanboy in me speaking again.

Yeah let all those people with real jobs just say 'Hey I'm going to hang out here for another day because we still get to play'. I'm betting the vast majority of the field wouldn't have played anyway.
