Can we leave my man Kenny Perry alone? I have been blogging about Kenny Perry and his magnificent obsession to make the Ryder Cup team all spring and summer.
Since winning the Memorial, he's won twice more. I am so tired of hearing his critics come down on him for skipping the US Open and British Open. Perry made out a schedule at the beginning of the year and he is sticking to it. He is playing the events which he feels he has the best chance to win. He also is keeping his word to tournament directors by not opting for the bigger ticket tournaments. No matter what Brandel Chamblee says; I feel like Kenny Perry has earned the right to decide what tournaments he'll play in. I'm not sure if a guy who has won 1 PGA tour event should give advice to a guy who has won 3 times just this year. If Perry opted not to play at the US Open and British because he wants to spend time at home with family or he wants to avoid the long flights and travel then that would be a good reason to me. The fact that he has a plan and is carrying it out, quite nicely I might add, is even more reason to get off his back.
Bobby Jones never turned pro. Bobby Jones retired in his 30's. Should we criticize him because he could have won lots of money and even more majors. I think not. I respect a man who can make decisions independent of the media and popular opinion.
The only guy I like to listen to on the golf channel is Frank Nobilo because he was actually one of the great players of his era. The rest are far too opinionated for their level of success.
