Great take on this story. Your perspective is unique and logical - it's hard to be both these days. But, the real question is how many millions did you accept from Substack to move away from Mailchimp? (Joking)

Had I made the move 12 months ago, I might have gotten $317. But I waited too long and am hoping for a free t-shirt.

It's not about 'ethics', that is just a ruse ... it is about power and money, and the USPGA doesn't want any interloper interfering with its honey pot.

What a great Story and the truth the PGA tour should look in the mirror instead of trying to dismiss it !! These golfers are just enjoying golf with a lot more chance of making money !!! Maybe the PGA tour should realise they aren’t the only tour now and wake up to ur “we are the best only attitude “!!!!

Great commentary Paul. Stories have and always will have deeper issues than a sound bite or headline. We have quicker access to everything including knowledge but yet we stick with the same narrative. My 18 year old twins have enlightened me on many things that I was closed minded to and it has been freeing. You are a talented soul now go work on your short putting!

Great insight, Paul. Please forward this to Brandel Chamblee on the Golf Channel. He could use some enlightenment. I hope you are well. Would love to play golf this Summer if your schedule permits. Be well.
