CBS11 Blog: No U.S. Open for Romo

[RW31]

Poor guy. Now he has to focus on *yuck* football, his job, what we pay him for.

 

[Doomsday101]

+8 on the back 9 after par on the front 9 is brutal. I wonder what happened?

It's golf. How can a guy with a 5 stroke lead heading into sunday lose? Even the great Tiger did not look so great last week.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah imagine that. Tony Romo, not a pro golfer, having a bad 9 holes on a professional golf course.

Geez who'd have thunk it? I mean it's not like pro golfers ever have bad rounds themselves.

Yeah, if Romo spent as much time working on his golf game as some people think he does, he'd probably be able to do quite a bit better.

MMhmm, no doubt he'd be a pro if he wasn't a football player first.

I'd kill to shoot 8 over par ON ANY COURSE!!!! :laugh2:
I hope he qualifies for the Nelson, though, it'll give me a reason to watch...

This may turn out as good news for the Dallas Cowboys. Had Romo ended up qualifying for the U.S. Open, it would have conflicted with the Cowboys Mini-Camp scheduled from June 16th through the 18th. The first round of the U.S. Open will be played on June 18th at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingday, New York.

OK, I'm not one of those morons who are always whining "why isn't he focusing on football", as a former club pro and son of a club pro, I have always supported Tony's golf hobby...

But this kind of annoys me; what is he doing trying to qualify for the Open, when if he did, it would have kept him from participating in a minicamp??

For him, minicamp is-- or should be-- considerably more important than a chance to play in the US Open... even though playing in the Open is kind of a holy grail for golfers everywhere...

Well, it's not the worst thing in the world....or is it?

Agreed...does anyone else realize this? Had this been T.O last year wonder if the reaction by some would be different? Lord knows, there were people all over him for working out on his own and not attending optional workouts.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

It would be the same thing for Romo as everything is for him that doesn't have something to do with football. He'd have been crucified if he made the cut, and missed camps, just like he was pissed all over last year for being at a baseball game or living life in general instead of having his nose in a playbook, or his butt in a film room, 24/7 365.

the jokes, they right themselves!

<Insert Choke Joke Here> haha. Honestly, all I can do is laugh and shake my head

Or write themselves...

 

[Hostile]

Or write themselves...

That was my initial response too.

I don't really give a rat's patootie about the "reaction" to it... I care about him blowing off a minicamp for the tournament... or if he had qualified, would he have blown off the Open??

And as a golfer, I care about him taking up a spot in the field that could have been taken by another player chasing his dreams...
