Re: No more Buick Open

That tournament is beyond ridiculous to watch. The way people act at that thing is ridiculous. STF for chrissakes!

Re: No more Buick Open

It is sad to see such a long standing sponsor have to make these cuts. Not having Buick on Tour is just weird.

Re: No more Buick Open

It is weird not to have Buick as a sponsor anymore, but they make shitty cars that they sell in a class that they simply can't compete with. It was a horrible business model that should have failed. I also feel this way with GM they didn't build the company with a business model that could withstand a recession, and they shouldn't be bailed out by the governement. The business failed, let it fail. Another company will take its place. But now I am off topic. And the fans at that even give all golf fans a bad name. I would have been lasering shots into the crowd left and right if they were that noisy when I was playing. It is just rude, and complete lack of respect for the game, there is no other way to put it.
