Rather than working harder and trying to play better to stay above the cut line, he just squawked about it. He argued that players lacked a voice. He did nothing in the years to follow. Give me a break. Seems to be the same story in 2019 with Kelly, taking the easier path on the Champions Tour rather than digging into that eligibility pocket he boasts about and hitting more balls on the range.

He's made$29M being a solid journeyman. Who cares if he didn't work as hard as you think he should have. Maybe balancing life was a higher priority. Maybe he lacks the super talent to be better, but he's still better than 99.999999% and earned a boatload in the process.

Kudos to Jerry... Another guy from Wisconsin I like.

Higher priority..........what????

He couldn't contend in majors - is that the definition of journeyman in golf?

> You are a weathered and wise bag-chattered blade in a world of trendy and shiny super GI irons!

WOW you nailed it--- That is exactly how I see myself among the tourist crowd around here. Can tell you a good one that happened today. I found a Otey Crisman hickory shafted blade putter in one of the bins this morning. Yeah I snatched it in a NY minute! Had it out on the putting green this afternoon. Of course with the weather being as nice as it has been the tourist golfers are out in full force. I thought I got some strange looks in the last few weeks with the Bulls Eye that pales in comparison to this afternoon. I got some stares but no one said or asked anything. I kept on putting doing pretty good. Seriously I need to practice with it more being a strictly feel player that thing has a unique feel. May play it this weekend
