Never Liked Davis Love.... Now more then ever....

[Anthony]

Strikes me as a decent guy, just someone I never liked based on him being the poster child for a pampered golf kid (just my impression) raised around private clubs and playing them from a young age.

Now he takes $100,000 of thousands of dollars to spruce up Angus Glen and then doesn't bother showing up (after missing the cut at the British).

The excuse is he's played 8 weeks in a row.... Duh, he knew the Canadian Open Schedule...

What an A-Hole......

[Hacker87]

it's disappointing to hear that but from what i've heard the RCGA gave out 19 or so exemptions to canadian golf prospects and that makes me more then happy..i'd rather watch our up and comers who want to play on the tour, rather then a seasoned vet who doesn't take the tournament seriously, just my 2 cents anyways

I heard many tour players hated to play Angus Glen anyway.

I have to agree for the most part, though I believe his excuse is of playing the next 8 weeks in a row - in seeing his results for the past two months, he has missed the cut in his last four events and that has spanned June 3 (Memorial), June 17 (US Open), July 8 (AT&T National), and July 22 (British Open).

Now that I have looked at the schedule a bit closer, I can't exactly fault him, or anyone else, for not playing this week, at least from a schedule standpoint. Starting next week most of the top guys will be playing 6 of the next 7 events - Davis would be playing the Wyndham Championship since he is the defending champ and thus have 7 weeks in a row, assuming he can make it to the final 30. I am sure Furyk, Weir and Singh and Ames will likely skip that event (Wyndham), but otherwise they have WGC next week, then PGA Championship, a week off and then the four week playoffs. It would seem some in the top ranks could skip the first playoff event and still be safe for the final 3 events.

Not sure how much Love cares about the Pres Cup, but that will take place with only a one week break after the Tour Championship, so you really can see how guys need to pace themselves. It also makes me realize how poor this date in the schedule is for the Canadian Open, though we pretty much knew that when it was announced.

Regardless, Love not showing up is poor - not so much a blow to the event (who cares about him), but a sad reflection of him and his attitude to the event (along with others I am sure) - "who cares about the Canadian Open"

[Bellyhungry]

The Open has the worst field in years.

The RCGA might have a new exec director and the Open a new date, but the modus operandi and philosophy are still the same old story. I recall reading in the newspaper last week that the tournament director was 'pleased' with the field when prompted.

I can't disagree that the field is rather weak, it's true, it's too close to the Open and now it's too close to the Fedex Cup Playoffs. This will be another smaller venue tourney where maybe we can watch someone fight to keep their card. We've had our national championship relegated to a 2nd tier event along with the John Deere, Milwaukee Open and the Reno-Tahoe events.

It would be very hard for the new tournament director to say that he hates the field, it would be a slap in the face for every guy who is able to make it. If they (RCGA) could pick better venues rather than Angus Glen, then maybe we'd have a better chance to get stronger fields. imo.

[FlipWedge]

I heard Hamilton G & CC was very well liked by the PGA tour members but it is THAT much better than Angus ? And why ?

[Hork42]

It's a crappy week to be stuck with, hopefully they can get a different week in the future. The tournament director was on the FAN this morning and he seemed quite bitter at Davis for backing out.

I agree with you he should have made room for the event. However, IMO....the $100 000 has nothing to do with whether or not his decision not to play in the event.

Ever since the death of his brother in-law Davis has not been the same. His brother in-laws death was somewhat suspicious in the sense Davis found out he was stealing $ from him. Then his bro-in-law all of a sudden went missing, and like a week later Davis found him at the family cottage, dead of an supposed suicide.

THe suspicious side of the story is that Davis showed up to the cottage alone and supposedly found him dead, and secondly it took almost a week to find him. Not being a cop, one would think that the family cottage would be one of the first places you would check for a missing person.

Then Davis decides to go to the cottage ALONE and there he is....dead of an apparent suicide. NOw....I'm not implying anything, I'm just stating the events as they unfolded, but it is sure convenient that Davis went there by himself and there he was....dead. One would think the authorities would search any and all other properties first as a matter of order when conducting an investigation, AND would advise the family members to advise the authorities BEFORE doing anything like going to the cottage alone.

Assuming Davis is 100% innocent he was not very smart to do that, and would have casted unnecessary doubt on himself. Also, if he is innocent and truly just found him there dead, I would say that would have been a tough thing to go through, and his golf game has not been the same since. AGain, I'm not saying anything one way or the other, but these are the events as they unfolded in chronological order.

[Golden Bear]

He's got good reason to be bitter -- it's a slap in the face. Love is basically saying, "I'll take your money, but I won't play in your tournament".

I just don't get Love. I can understand a heavy schedule ... but if I reworked a course as he did, I would have chosen a different tournament to skip. If he didn't want to come out of respect for the people who forked over a lot of money for his expertise, then he should at least have come to show some pride in his work, and to see how the course plays under tournament conditions.

Is he at least coming as a spectator? I'd be less disappointed if he did ... though I still think he should be playing. A number of golfers design courses, and I can't imagine they would skip out like this.

I think its a joke that Davis isn't playing this week. I mean, this is basically his course now and he's saying it just doesn't work for him. I don't care how busy his schedule is, this should have been just as important for him as a major, as you would assume the best players in the world playing your course would be very important. I guess it shows how little the Canadian Open means to this guy. I am just speculating, but i think that Angus picked Davis to re-design the course because he is a PGA tour player and would be able to draw players because he would speak so highly of his course, what a JOKE!!

Never liked Davis, something about him seemed fake, now i know i dislike him.

[tourboy]

Love is probably the biggest suck playing golf on the tour currently. Remember 'No Love' or how pissy he acted after Sergio came running down the fairway after Europw clinched the Ryder Cup?

Love not comming to the C. Open this week is just another sign of Love's weak character.

I heard Hamilton G & CC was very well liked by the PGA tour members but it is THAT much better than Angus ? And why ?

Totally differnt style of course and one that is a favourite of most any PGA player that has played there. Old school like St.Georges or even Toronto in a way.

[davevandyk]

I heard Hamilton G & CC was very well liked by the PGA tour members but it is THAT much better than Angus ? And why ?

That's a whole other issue. I really don't think Angus should even be in the rotation. I think the RCGA has to move it around more and play a lot more courses than basically just the GTA. There should be going out West more, Ottawa, Montreal even the maritimes. I mean they could build a good rotation with courses like Glen Abbey, Hamilton, Royal Montreal etc.. get a group like the British does and really move it around Canada.

[JEBS]

Too bad.. with great course designers like Carrick and McBroom.. Angus gave the $$ to Love III :(

Personally I would like to see the Canadian Open on the European Tour. I have been off latley due to injury and have been watching more European Tour latley (Thanks GolfChannel) I find more personality as well as the EU coverage is much better (IMHO) I like to see up and coming golfers, not just who is leading and old Tiger footage.

But I guess Golf is like all other sports TV rights and advertisement $$

I think that the Canadian Open has to find a course that will be more challenging it seems the scores are all double digit under par for the winners. If we cannot draw the great names in golf.. let the course be the draw a la Oakmont, Bethpage, Carnoustie, Augusta National etc.

[planet]

Davis Love. A new low in selfishness.

D**khead.

Great comments!! The European tour is great golf without the politics. This is why Sergio doesn't come to the States as much anymore because of the media and the coverage (if you want to b*tch about Sergio there is a thread for it, so no more Sergio comments plz). I'm sure if there is one player with that mindset in Europe there must be more that we don't know about.

Also agree 100% with the golf course comments. The focus should be on the golf course and the test of golf. THis is an OPEN even if it is not a major. There are other PGA events in Canada and for those ones you can have an easier set up for low scoring exciting golf, but Open's are supposed to be about grinding out pars.

We here in Canada are WAY to worried about the playing field, the attendance, and the TV coverage. As JEBS says forget the b/s, and get a golf course that is set up to an Open's standards and play the event. Who cares if this guy comes, or that guy comes, it's not about the field in an Open, that's why it's called an OPEN!!:eek:

As far as I'm concerned anyone who choses not to come to one of the oldest tournaments around and misses out on the experience of playing in Canada is missing a great opportunity, and it's THEIR loss, not OURS!:hush:

[MannyR]

Davis Love has always been a cold fish and with this snub of Canada who cares what he does in the future.

How about those PGA parasites who hitched a free ride on the RCGA charter from Scotland and didn't even enter the tourney. That's nerve and shows no class.

Some thoughts and questions.

Just my opinion but if you look at the scores of other Non Major Opens, they aren't really high scoring like the Majors can be.

I agree that at the Master's, British and the US Opens, the course is very important as it is constantly referred to and mentioned and special reports in the media constantly. Carnoustie was 50% of the story. It is still very important to sell tickets and make money. It is a business first as is the others now or they have other agendas (Masters) but tough to compare becuse of the well known history, status etc... They don't need sponsorship money and gate revenue etc.. Maybe I am wrong but a consistently good field over a few years could bring more fans out. Golf might not be as popular as we think here in Canada or atleast not in a way that it is in other countries. Could this be true?

Whether the event is a Invitational or a PGA event or an Open, it's about the field in meaning directly. If the Canadian Open field gets weaker and weaker, does it matter? Do people not attend Nation Wide events as much as PGA events because of the course or the field or poor parking facilities?

Also, what other PGA events are here in Canada? Isn't there just one regular event in Canada currently. Did you mean to include the LPGA and Senior PGA events or maybe the Skins Game or Presidents Cup?

I don't think Tiger or any other player who would be exempt playing the Canadian Open is missing out on much when they make thier schedule for the year and skip our nations only PGA Tour event.

Davis Love has always been a cold fish and with this snub of Canada who cares what he does in the future.

Jerry Kelly, Stricker, Pettersson, Ryan Moore, Boo...Boo and Moore had committed then withdrew.

[BeLikeBen]

All of this really points out to me how stupid this Fedex cup is. I haven't spoken to a single person who really understands what the hell the points system and tournament weighting is all about, save for some vague notion about building a false hype as fields are reduced a la the NCAA tournament. I don't think the top echelon gives a fig about it and are, in fact, pissed off cause it alters their schedule. I am sure there are more than a few sour faces after doing the tv promos for this thing but they tow the line because everything about the tour is corporate and the sponsors have to be kissed. Never mind how tournament directors feel...

"The Fedex Cup". I guess that sounds better than "The Money List" - this is another simple thing that the European Tour has over the Pga - at least the "Order of Merit" sounds like it means something!

That's my rant today...:p

[Golfbum]

You know something? I always thought your posts were thoughtful and meaningful. But the one above is tabloid trash. How can you actually sit and type the above statements? You state you are not saying anything one way or the other? Then why bother to bring it up at all? :confused:

Of course you are not a COP. So why bring your thoughts into the matter of DLII"s brother in law's death? Do you not think the police would have done a complete investigation into this matter?

On top of that, what does all of this have to do with Davis deciding he did not want to play the Canadian Open? Did Phil kill his brother in law? Did Tiger snuff out a neighbor he caught peaking at his wife while she was in the pool? They decided not to play in this event, but no one crucifies them over their decisions.

Could it be Davis decided months ago not to play this event, along with 47 of the Top 50 World Ranked Golfers? Could it be that most decided not to play here because it follows The Open Championship? They want a week off?

Could it be most decided not to play here because Angus Glen is not a great course to hold a Championship of this nature? Could it be that the majority of the TOP PGA members are just not interested in this tournament anymore? As Canadians we have to
realize this is not a MAJOR. This is an event played outside of USA and that just does not attract a lot of attention from the majority of the big names. I attended this event 6 times in the past 18 years and there is never a lot of big names playing. Most of the big name players have their cards secured. Now with the Fedex Cup in place most are taking a week off to recharge their batteries after being in Scotland and grinding through a Major.

I like the fact that so many Canadians were included in this CANADIAN OPEN. If more Tour members showed up there would not be room for the Canadians.

Here's hoping Mike can continue his good play from The Open Championship and take a run at the Canadian Open.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a PGA event in BC near the end of the year. Weir had his first PGA win at the Air Canada Open in 1999. Is that gone now?

I agree that more $ could mean a better field, but IMO it has as much to do with the dates as anything else. I betcha if it was next week and not 1 week after the Open there would be a better field. Having said that if the golf course was set up like a major and was 2 weeks before the PGA you would see better representation of the top 10 players.

I think that Canada has very passionate golf fans, but I also think outside of GTA and Ontario maybe there is some bitterness about the course they chose being in Ontario/GTA at least every other year.

If the RCGA did a better job picking courses and promoting the tournament as a first class event, instead of a fill in event in between majors, it would do much better. There are MANY PGA players out there that do recognize the Canadian Open as an important event, and do know the history of the tournament.

Instead of being a puppy dog to the PGA tour the RCGA should be working their butts off to get a date worthy of the event. As usual us Canadians sell ourselves short once again. Until such time the Canadian Open is promoted as a big time event on the PGA schedule, and given a date worthy of what the tournament means, us Canadian golf fans will continue to feel ripped off.

As per my other thread though....the field this week is pretty good, and there will be world class golf being played at Angus this weekend.

yup the tourney was gone years ago, at least 2 or 3. I would love to see them add it again, as one of those tourneys after the FedEx, for up and coming players looking to secure their card.

Was in Perkins article in this morning's Star...
Jerry Kelly, Stricker, Pettersson, Ryan Moore, Boo...Boo and Moore had committed then withdrew.

I agree with you that this is brutal, but unless Perkins talked to the guys, its only a guess. Perhaps Boo and Moore really wanted to play in the Canadian, but by the time they got back to Canadian, their bodies were worn more than they expected and they decided to back out and charge the juices again. I didn't read the article, so maybe they had withdrawn before they got on the plane, but if not you can't assume they just took the free ride, i am sure there were tons of players who had charter flights out of Carnoustie that they could've hitched rides with if they had no intention of playing. Its not like they were gonna have to fly British Airways coach if they didn't take the Canadian Open charter.

[el tigre]

How about those PGA parasites who hitched a free ride on the RCGA charter from Scotland and didn't even enter the tourney. That's nerve and shows no class. Its the RCGA's plane so they get to decide who rides on it. Why should we care?

For all we know, the RCGA actively offered free rides to any other players who wanted them because they had the room. I think it is good policy on the RCGA's part to be nice to these guys...

[dekker]

I wouldn't doubt the reason for the RCGA plane there was for that very purpose. The a** kissing has got to stop sometime.

I don't see the point of moving the Canadian Open around. Most of the PGA players wouldn't know the course anyway.

Glen Abbey was the complete package and remains the best known. Stop the whoring and present some identity for a change.
Here it is. This is the money. This is the time. Love to see you,or not.

[Golden Bear]

The Perkins article does say that some players, who had already declined to attend, were not permitted to fly on the charter. (He names Stewart Cink.) The inference is that those who were on the plane were at least indicating they might play in the Cdn. Open.

Of course, we're getting all our information from Dave Perkins, which isn't advisable. Star sports reporters live for the negative story, and do have a habit of shaping facts around the story they want to write.

[DavidY]

One of the golf guys on Sportsnet said that Love got $500,000 for his golf course redesign of Angus Glen North....and he doesn't even have the guts to attend the tourney. :eek:

Dave

[rockwalls]

Sadly, its the scheduled slot of the Canadian Open that kills the event. Hopefully with the new "honcho" in charge, things shall change for the better with the RCGA. Looks promising though.

As for Davis Love III, his no-show act is real unclassy. My 2 cents..who needs another guy who looks like he's got a pickle stuck up his @rse anyway? Never liked the guy nor his personality....won't miss him in this tourney.

Honestly, its also the RCGA's fault for picking him to spruce up Angus Glen (Davis Love III- course designer? c'mon! - should have given Faldo or Norman instead an exemption to play if given a choice)

[Flamingo]

Agree - Never was a D. Love fan. Always struck me as a spoiled brat raised with a silver spoon in his mouth.
