Will Golf World's John Stege please pick up the white courtesy phone

He writes at GW's Local knowledge blog-

There have been some miserable years in professional golf. Recall Ian Baker-Finch in 1995, when he made 18 starts, missed the cut in 14 of them, withdrew from three of them and was disqualified from one. He was 0 for 18.

In 1997, Chip Beck played in 32 tournaments and made only three cuts and $10,653. The following year, he made two cuts in 29 starts. In 2005, David Duval made 20 starts, missed the cut in 18 of them and withdrew from one. He made one cut and $7,630.

But can any of these can top Doug Barron's year this year? Barron played four Nationwide Tour events, missed the cut in three of them and was disqualified in the fourth.

How about Dorothy Delasin? A four-time winner on the LPGA Tour and still short of her 30th birthday. She was 0 for 16 missing cuts this year. She has a 18 tournament streak of missing cuts going back to October 2008.

Four tournaments of missing the cut isn't a whole lot of anything. Try getting some perspective John. Would you be writing this if Barron hadn't failed a drug test?

I suggest Stege stay in bed(Like he suggested Barron should) after answering my call. He is clearly deficient in golfwriting ability at this time.
