LIV Golf

[JonnyGutteridge]

Has Mel recruited TheBigDraw to help with the Pro-LIV posts?
Honestly both of your posts read like you are working for Liv, it’s very bizarre.

 

[Mel Smooth]

But you've put it out there that Pelley is a very bad man! What's he done then that would put him on a par with being implicit in the murder of a journalist?

Has Greg Norman murdered a journalist?

Has Greg Norman murdered a journalist?

What about the question about Pelley?

Has Greg Norman murdered a journalist?

His paymasters did

And how did he respond when asked about it

“Well everyone is allowed mistakes”

 

[Blue in Munich]

He was announced as RC captain before Norman even announced the 1st date of LIV, and long before anybody saw any of the ridiculous repercussions of joining the series.
But let’s not let that get in the way of an opportunity to throw as much dirt at somebody as possible eh?
He’ll have been in RC captaincy discussions from a time before LIV was even a thing.

I know somebody who has met Pelley, amongst many others in the golfing world, and he said Pelley stood out as a very bad man.

So which is it; are we throwing dirt, or not throwing dirt? The stench of hypocrisy around your posts is overpowering.

He knows nothing of Pelley, whereas I know people who say he’s a really nice guy.


See how easy it is to post rubbish.

He said it was ‘reprehensible’ in the interview I watched.

What about the question about Pelley?

I’ve said, somebody I know who’s met him said he was a bad man.
He’s also quite willing to do business with the Saudi regime, as evidenced earlier.

The hypocrisy is irrelevant. Why on earth would DP World Tour and PGA Tour roll over and let new investors destroy the establishment they have built for decades? It's so silly that anyone thinks the PGA should be accommodating any of this. If anything, the PGA should be taking on debt to increase purses to ensure that these players don't leave.

Maybe they are all just bored of the same tour week in week out.
Long journeys,boring hit it anywhere courses,same old ridiculous American shouts.

Very strong reports Cam Smith signed for Liv just before The Open.
When asked in his press conference whether he was joining Liv he gave the Brooks K answer of why are you asking me that when ive just won The Open.
Could have shut it down then by saying no but he didn't.

He had just won the Open
Stupid journalists asking stupid questions at the wrong moment.
I believe he said he would leave everything to his team.
So I suppose if his team say go he goes.
Bigger names and bigger hypocrites to follow that’s for certain

Maybe they have, and maybe it is spite, but then, I’d argue that the tours have shown nothing but spite towards LIV, so an eye for an eye….

But he will undoubtedly improve the LIV attention through Scandinavia.

I think it's very hard to imagine any business being very gracious with another business whose ambition (although not publicly stated) is to put them out of existence.

It's like blaming someone for retaliating when they were on the receiving end of the first blow.

LIV could have come in softly, but they chose the aggressive route. Then they bought out the Ryder Cup captain for the only reason that he's the Ryder Cup captain.

Sounds like a pnother massively high profile player is being signed up....

Charles Howell 3.....

Watch that needle move.....

“"From what I heard and what you guys reported, just take ownership of what it is," Norman told reporters. "Take ownership no matter what it is. Look, we've all made mistakes, and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward."

Watch the clip, 1 minute in, “it’s reprehensible what happened with Kashoggi”

So what we can see is that Norman is all over the place - he called it a mistake ,after that lots of back tracking to try and repair any damage after he was critisized for it.

You will excuse anything won’t you

 

[Barking_Mad]

Few familiar phrases here
"Excited to be working with Saudi Arabia"
"Golf help the transformation of the country"
"Their helping us develop the game"

Sound like Liv?

No Keith Pelley CEO of the DP World Tour talking about the European Tour in 2019.

The overwhelming stench of Hypocrisy should be coming out of everyone's devices as they now suspend their own players for doing and saying the same thing.

Can you point me to the quotes where DP Tour executives condemn LIV on ethical or moral grounds?

And where are these "very strong reports?"

I see Liv have signed up another Mel who is going to peddle fabricated stories. The strategy of propoganda and misinformation via social media continues.

 

[Backsticks]

Presumably Saudis will get a couple more top 30s, but it does look like they are struggling and resigned for the moment to that. Hence the signing of minor players or past-its. Too many of them to be just temporary no name place holders. They havent signed up for just 3 events or whatever. So it does look like a bit of a non event, even if just for the next 3 to 5 years before they go for a second draft.

What have Mel and BigDraw got in common?

They both use the forum to promote their own youtube channels. It's a clear Liv social media strategy.

I’m not excusing anything. That interview I’ve posted pre dates his comment at Centurion, so how would he be backtracking?
if you watch it all, you’ll also hear Weir comment on how GN had reached out to Monahan, Pelley, and all the guys running the majors. The only one to respond were Augusta.
