It makes me sick. First someone gleefully kills a rare giraffe. Then we imprison (detain) kids and/or families. Then a golfer loses his clubs and refuses to play. He quits. How many of us have lost things (or people) and had to plow ahead. Win or lose. How can a golfer simply step it up -- borrow clubs, learn about his game from the bottom up, show kids effort, try and try again. What a pathetic role model when we need one. I get winning. I get getting a spot. But gee, life dealt you a bad hand and lost your luggage. Don't wimp out for goodness sake. Your character could have been an exemplar. Now you look like a spoiled sport. Give me a break. You quit? I get specialty clubs and sponsorships. I get import of getting a spot. But, many real people lose things and manage -- with grace and humor and effort. McDowell, you paint yourself as a poor sport and a poor exemplar for your sport. Really. For real. Sad.
