TERRY MOSHER<\/p>\n

TOP OF THE TOWN \u2013 <\/strong>Unbelievable, but entirely predictable. Money always rises to the top, as I discovered when I helped negotiate contracts. So am I surprised PGA did a full 180 degree turn and merge with LIV Golf. Yes and no. I know money talks and with Saudi money the talk is big. But I\u2019m embarrassed and horrified PGA submitted to the billions of dollars the Saudi influence has over this deal and threw in the garbage can the human rights abuse (especially on women) and ignored the Saudi crown prince is responsible for approving the killing of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi. It\u2019s despicable the PGA abandoned all morals for money. It\u2019s worse than that. The PGA has no right to be in an honored place in American viewing. It has disgraced itself and in my mind is sitting among the pieces of Khashoggi\u2019s dismembered body, wherever the Crown Prince\u2019s murders threw them. The PGA is now not worthily of my eyes. I will quit watching PGA Tour events, including Masters. They have disappeared just as Khashoggi\u2019s body did. They are banned from my view, joining CNN for allowing a Trump Town Hall on its network, giving him time to shower us with all his lies, and FOX, which has been banned in my house for nearly 50 years. If this keeps up I will be only viewing Disney (but not in Florida). I can\u2019t believe the PGA stooped so low. Money has given PGA blinders. They can\u2019t see what they have done, sold out to big money. I hope lefty (Phil Mickelson took a reported $300 million to get in bed with the Saudis and LIV Golf) is happy. He\u2019s the worst of the worst. \u2026 \u00a0Good try, but no cigar. That is the state of Washington Husky softball and baseball programs.\u00a0 Both made it to their respective College World Series. That is where they separated. The Husky women relied on defense and pitching (and an miraculous come from behind rally in the Super Regional against McNeese state, scoring 7 runs in the top of the 7th<\/sup> inning to win 7-6) to advance to the Women\u2019s College World Series where they ran into their nemesis, Florida State and then were out-pitched by Stanford to exit the world series. Husky baseball slugged its way to the World Series and were outslugged in its last two games to exit it. They should be commended for the seasons they had. Jason Kelly took the Husky baseball team to the playoffs in his first year as coach and if this season is an indication of things to come, Husky baseball may be on its way to be something worthily of viewing in the future. That\u2019s it for today. Stay safe.<\/p>\n

Be well pal.<\/p>\n

Be careful out there.<\/p>\n

Have a great day.<\/p>\n

You are loved.<\/p>\n
