Tiger Is Going To Get Stuffed In A Locker By This NHL Ref At The US Open
So apparently the big news in the golf world this week is that Tiger Woods has docked his $20 million Yacht in the Hamptons and will be staying there during the US Open. Big fucking whoop. So the dude is rich and has a fancy boat? What good is that going to do him when he’s out there on the course getting dummied by NHL referee and amateur golfer Garrett Rank?
Nothing. That’s what.
Now from what I’ve heard, Shinnecock is a pretty difficult course to play unless you have hundreds and hundreds of mulligans to use. And in order to have any sort of success on a tough course, you need to be tough. Both mentally and physically. You want to know what’s tough? Taking a stick to the face in the middle of an NHL game and getting your ass right back on the ice just a few minutes later after some quick repairs.
If Garrett Rank hits a few bad shots next weekend, he’ll shake them right off because he’s hockey tough like that. It’s all about the next shot, nothing you can do about the last one. If his back starts to stiffen up on him in the middle of a round? He’ll just play right through the pain and discomfort because he’s hockey tough like that. He won’t pull out of the tournament just because he’s got a little boo boo.
Garrett Rank is exactly what the sport of golf needs right now. Guys have been getting too soft lately. Garrett Rank isn’t going to be bothered by a few clowns in the gallery chirping at him after a shot. He gets ripped apart by players, coaches, and thousands of fans every single night he’s on the ice telling him that he fucking blows and that he’s blind. He’s used to that by now. So I think a lot of guys on the tour can learn a thing or two from Garrett Rank next week. And if you’re not rooting for Ranksy at Shinnecock, well then you can frig off. We have the chance to see a real life Happy Gilmore here, people. You’ve got to be a grade A asshole to not root for that.
