A Golfer Would Never Text Pics of His Crotch to Femmessociates, Right?

PrintThere seems to have been a trend growing among many facets of the world of professional athletes. The trend is taking a picture of one's genitalia and texting it to a lady friend/associate of their choice. Like some kind of response to an invisible Craig's List Casual Encounters post, athletes seem to think there's something funny, sexual, or empowering about one-way sexting.
Today, Deadspin has published a claim from Jenn Sterger that then-Jets QB and maybe soon-to-be three time retiree Brett Favre had sent such pics to her. The issues inherent to such a claim aside, it seems weird that a guy darn near 40 would do that. Then again, look at Sean Salisbury. (Maybe it is a 40-something thing.)
Every time one of these things happen, I say to myself, "I'm kinda glad golfers don't get caught Crotch Rolling some unsuspecting woman." I mean, the most controversial thing to happen in golf is an f-bomb or flipping the bird. I do that a couple of times each day, so it's easy for me to be flippant about the behavior.
But, does this happen in golf? Often accused of being a network of good ole boys, maybe the sport is just better at hiding instances in which this does happen.
I'm sure Matt Every isn't the only dude on Tour that has smoked pot. I'd bet a lot of money that the Tour has quietly disciplined or fined players for the hooch, ganja, cocaine, or whatever. But fines and suspensions are never disclosed, unlike in other sports, unless done so by the player on their own time.
There is the occasional frustration that the innermost circles of golf are extremely tight-lipped (though there are notable exceptions). But with few squealers, maybe there is a benefit to having Tiger Woods be the only guy known as a dirty texter.

I don't get it
For starters – reporting another one sided interview type of thing where some celeb or athlete (usually male) gets outed for doing something like this – but nothing is ever said about the woman returning with her own private pictures. The return doesn’t do anything to tear down the celel/athlete.
And then trying to make it a crossover article into golf ? Wow – there was a bank robbery in Atlanta last week…would GOLFERS ever do something like that ? A basketball player was shot multiple times – what that ever happen to a GOLFER ?
If it’s a slow news day – let’s just talk about what’s in our bags…or recent rounds…or dream golf trips.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
OK all ya guys out there
that thought there was no benifit to being in the 50’s….arn’t ya glad yur not in the 40’s ? and look what Ryan still has to look forward to….for shame, for shame….and you a married man now too…..Yur turn at um TX…..STUB
I know – and I think RB had a point – you were probably interfered with by an Aussie hiding in the bushes somewhere.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I'm no excuse maker like TW
I take the good with the bad. I’m just glad to be out playing on a regular basis this year.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Good for you, PG. I just hope you're outplaying good players
on a regular basis.
Thanks !!!
But probably not this year. It’s the first year I have been approved to play a full round from my cardiologist since my heart attack 19 months ago. I got my Freddy Couples Swing back but I do get pretty freakin tired after about 14 holes. My second place low gross of 81 a couple of weeks back was encouraging.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
(mental note…press on the 15th tee) :-)
Does your cardiologist give you any idea how long it will take for you to be ready for 18 holes as strong as you’d like to be ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
another year or so Court
So she says. For the most part I have a 6 cylinder heart running on 4 cylinders. I hate taking a cart, but thats what I have to do to play 18 this year. Anywho, I’m just glad to be able to be out there playing. In Fact after what I was told after my heart attack, any day above ground is a good day.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Hmmm – a SHE cardiologist, eh ? That explains why your stride slows down a bit when you go in for a checkup. :-)
Glad she’s making you take your time getting back to 100% – especially in this summer heat. No sense hitting the gas too soon.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
yep court
SHE is pretty hot also, for a 36 ish Dr. Cardio Babe, all 5 ft nuttin of her. My stride picks up though while I’m sitting on the damn paper topped table in the exam room as I start trolling the counter tops for free stuff like cotton swabs, wetnaps, rubber gloves et al on the To-Go menu. lol j/k

You don’t have to get it, I just felt like saying it.

Haha, pretty much every post I do is because I want to talk about it. Fortunately, it often leads to good conversation. Sometimes, though, I do posts full expecting next to no convo at all. I just kinda wanna get something off of my chest. :)
