Exec says stores are done with Bud Light

I almost turned pro in golf.

I got beat one day by a 14 year old and said, I don't really have the skill.

I was a scratch handicap however.

Good for you, that's pretty cool.

Scratch was my goal but I never got below a 4 when I was in my mid fifties. Gave it up because it was consuming all my time. Four sets of blades, a lot of wedges, and countless putters all went to a pro who volunteered his golf summers for the First Tee. One of his students won a college scholarship with my old Muzino MP32's.
 
Bud Light fired the person responsible.

But that's not enough to satisfy the bloodlust of conservatives. But they should know - the people they're hurting now are just American workers, who had nothing to do w/ the decision that started this. Distributors, delivery people, administrative staff, the works. Just people trying to get by - and who conservatives want to see lose their jobs.
 
Trumpys have made a lot of people, factory workers, distributors and other Bud employees lose their jobs. It is truly one of their proudest moments. What an accomplishment.

Impressive. I was never quite that good, even after having been a pro in another sport..

My mother owns a golf course so I could play every day.

I could just never break the level needed to be pro no matter how much I practiced.

I probably could have gotten my tour card but I never would have been successful at it.

I make more money now.

I was a professional boxer while in college, but I can't pretend to have made a living at it.
My parents paid my tuition and even my apartment rent.
Boxing provided my gas, beer, dating, and pony-betting money.

The club pros that I fought weren't nearly as good
as the tournament-level amateurs that I'd faced before them.

Serious success in professional sports is ONLY for genetic freaks.

The potential to succeed--the physical attributes required--cannot be cultivated.
They are a freakish and fortunate accident of birth.

Said attributes are admittedly only the tools in the toolbox--one still has to work hard to learn how to use them--
but without them, all the hard work in the world can't make one a highly successful performer in the professional sports entertainment industry.

People don't pay big league prices to watch their neighbors play softball in the town common.
They pay for a freak show--watching special people do what normal people really can't do.

Very true.

I played against Natalie Gulbis when she was 14, I was the club pro and thought it was a joke when she and her father challenged me so I took it on.

She beat me by 7 strokes and I realized that I would never had what this girl had regardless of how much I practiced so I gave it up.

I loved golf, which is not known to be a huge favorite of the proletariat class, I admit.
Spinal stenosis took me out of it recently as it destroyed my balance and coordination.

I got a brief lesson from Jane Blalock once, but she's my age and before your time.
