I am being serious, I think the role model thing is vastly overblown and people do not copy golfers just because they are very good at hitting a white ball into hole.

Anyway, I've had my say so I'm off now to bang a waitress and drive into a fire hydrant, night all.

Agree in regards "role models and influences"

The circles that people mix in have a big say in what choices they make.

We will copy golfers in regards equipment or swings etc but won't copy their lifestyle

Seems pretty clear now that its drugs. A shame and I hope he gets sorted but I also hope they tour keep a closer eye on him too for any relapses.

It's already snorted , i'm afraid it's acceptable in some social circles.

I believe you are right about the second part - too acceptable , same with heroin and other recreational drugs.

100% agree.

As you say the whole "role model" thing is overplayed. Are the juniors at our clubs any more likely to start using drugs because they have read about DJ's antics or to become sex obsessed because of Tiger?

I don't think so.

Of course it would be better for DJ if he did not have this problem and we should all support and applaud his belated efforts to kick "the habit" but it is ridiculous to suggest that his actions have any significant effect upon the game of golf or the public's perception.

Just because its snorted doesn't mean he can't past this. I wonder what sporting circles would see it as acceptable? Are you implying that he is snorting lines with other tour members?

A lot of goody two shoe over reactors on here, the guy has admitted he has issues and will address it, let it go, it's not as if he has killed or harmed anyone but himself.

Let me ask this, who like a pop/rock/indie band who are whiter than white?

If I earned loads of cash for playing golf in think id do a mixture of what tiger did/does and a bit of the DJ approach. Not exactly the most strenuous of sports is it? I'd get through on few hours sleep a night .

I don't think he has admitted he has problems sounds like he's been caught out so didn't have a choice

He's bailed out before the announcement so sounds like he's made the admission especially given he's seeking professional help, I feel sorry for him personally, addiction maybe self inflicted but it's still a hellish illness

 

[HomerJSimpson]

On SSN Butch Harmon saying he had no inkling even as recently as working with him at the Open. I wouldn't for one second expect him to come out and say anything different.

I can vaguely remember the EARLY 60s as a young rock n roll musician , there was drink and the odd puff of something , but never anything heavy.
