This weekend, golfers from all around the world will congregate in Hawaii for the start of the PGA season. In fact, most of them made sure they signed up for the event before departing to this tropical paradise surrounded by thousands of miles of salt water.Well, not Chad Campbell! Campbell decided to make the eight-hour flight from Houston without doing so. I guess this is the extreme version of forgetting to lock your door when you depart on a long trip. Who do you think you are, Chad? If you were Tiger Woods you'd definitely still be on the golf course this weekend, but, hey, way to try to stick it to the man!
"It's one of my top five favorite tournaments we play all year,'' Campbell said. "It's one of my favorite golf courses. That's what (stinks) more than anything.''
That wasn't the quote I was hoping for from Campbell. I would recommend to him that he have a sense of humor about this. Well, at least portray that to the media. Campbell should also join his colleagues in laughter! The next time he tees off, you can count on his playing partners saying, "glad you signed up."
Oh well, I hope Chad got to enjoy the beaches while he was there. Maybe he took in some surfing or tanning. At least it was Hawaii, and not Podunk, Alaska. And hey, at least people won't immediately think of soup when they hear his last name anymore. Speaking of which, I know I could go for some Chunky right about now!
I can't imagine you are a big enough golfer to have your own traveling secretary, so you are going to have to take the mulligan for this one, Chad! Excuse me while I go add this faux pas to your Wikipedia page. Just be happy you have one!
