by Kent Sterling The president of the Professional Golfers Association of America used social media to criticize a European player as a “lil girl,” and accused him of sounding like “a little school girl squealing during recess.” Goodbye! For that? When Ted Bishop was only 29 days away from finishing his term, a lightly read […]
