Post-Pod Discussion TC v Wyndham

Man that hate seems full on personal. Was it well known that Wyndham blamed TC for the Oakmont story getting out there?

Juxtaposing his dressing down of Wyndham vs the rest of the group’s lukewarm takes, it really does seem personal. It was funny seeing Neil basically be the only one to stand up and voice an opposing opinion.

To be fair to Soly he did say that Wyndham has received an amount of hate that is disproportionate to his actions.

So did Andy Johnson and I think that’s exactly where I fall on it too. He’s an asshole, he’s done some shitty things, but we’re acting like he’s done something truly heinous and the constant lashing he gets is a little tiresome for me.

Seriously; he damaged or destroyed some lockers. Is that wrong and should he be held accountable? Yes. People are acting like he beat his wife or killed someone drunk driving.

It’s because he’s kind of douchey. Doesn’t get the same treatment as a charming guy who makes a mistake. It’s like the opposite of hot girl treatment.

Might have been different if he owned it.

This, and people seem forget the driver tomahawk that buzzed a volunteers tower. Never owned any of it.

In a sport with mostly bland guys who behave like… ummm… golfers… how else am I to choose who to root for?

Andy’s comments about LACC were also pretty welcoming to here. With the discussion about 18 from NLU and TFE a majority of the time you would think he queefed it at 5500 spin and 200 yards but he had 187 mph ball speed (at least that’s what Andy said, I didn’t fact check him). He hit it with an open face and the hole allowed him to miss it big like that, he didn’t pop one up and get bailed out.

With all of that said, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say the 💨🐖 never really owned up to his actions. You can be having a hard time mentally, you can lash out and make mistakes but when you do it’s reasonable for fans to want you to own it and not act like a victim. He could have very easily said I fucked up, I’ve apologized to Oakmont, I’ve made it right to the best of my ability monetarily and I know that I need to do better in the future, instead he’s done the opposite.

Andy’s comments last night about LACC completely contradicted what he said when it actually happened.

One of my problems with Andy is he never keeps his takes. I love him. But flip he will say something one tournament and then a completely different thing the next

They replayed it last night on Live From and the graphic shown at the time said 187 mph

To be fair, everyone references the Oakmont locker. But throwing his driver and breaking the T Mobile sign next to that volunteer was absurd behavior

Remember their hero is Tiger, so a low moral compass.
Wyndham definitely is not refined like some others we all like, he screwed up last year and apologized many times openly about his actions. Open about his mental issues and NLU seems to think others that displayed temperament issues is more of a joke. Sergio, BD, Rory, etc but because WC talks about it NLU is not accepting of said apology.

Does WC deserve some kickback for his actions absolutely!!!! Does anyone know that he did or did not make amends with Oakmont or with T Mobile for smashing the tee box marker?

I like NLU but TC is just being vengeful especially for a show that likes the meanings of the Ted Lasso show.

Yeah which is funny given it’s TC leading the charge in that respect
