This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Scheduling sucks by NDoggie78

Because of the Olympics, two of the majors - British Open and PGA had to be compressed to within 3 weeks. After the Olympics, the Ryder Cup starts at the end of September. That's cramming a lot of majors and major events into a very tight schedule.

Add the cost for building a new golf course. Then you add the arbitrary cut-off date for determining the teams - right before the British Open instead of after it - where a guy like Mickelson would have made the team and wanted to go - and it appears, like usual, the IOC has their head up their ass.

I won't even get into what I think about the IOC and how they are a corrupt body completely ruining the Olympics

So
