with all respect please let me disagree

how do you place a dollar sign on time with your family????

i dont know how much m oney brian gay has won.......and i have no

clue as to his sponsors.......what i do know is this....BRIAN GAY.....does not back off.......not from wind...or rain....or sunny days

i have been to approximately 15 tournaments.......i am privledged to know some of the players personally...

its not all glory.......and decisions are made which suits player and family best.....

if BG wants a week off........he takes it........i am not here to argue

but lets add it up

us open.........................1 million to winner

british open...................1 million to winner

masters..........................1 million to winner

pga..................................1 million to winner

ofcourse i made up price...but close

AND

time with family

priceless

I'm not arguing that time with your family is important, of course not. However, BG and everyone else knew exactly when (and where) the US Open would be being played this time last year, if not before! If you're stated aim is to be one of the best players in the world, to be a major champion and to beat the worlds best when they are playing their best then you have to tee it up in the majors and you plan for that accordingly.

As I said, I'm not stirring here and I totally respect BG, however, if I was good enough to win on the PGA Tour, you can be sure I'd be teeing it up in the US Open - regardless of the length.
