Dustin Johnson off the tour for awhile.....looks like the coke rumors that have been around for awhile might be true.

Shocker......another reason why you don't propose to coke whores, you just snort lines out of their ass.

Wonder if Paulina started the coke...or the coke helped start Paulina?

Whatever. I guess it doesn't really matter. I'd still marry Paulina even if I had to pick up a coke habit to ensure the marriage.

Sometimes under the deck, I get sent emails that makes me scratch me pirate head.

So might as well jump to number 41, because I have this handled bossman.

1) Simon

2) Jimmy Walker



I was sent this email after doing a golf ex’s MFK:


Yo Nate,

Alli Mackenize was married with two kids to Will Mackenzie, fairly successful tour pro as you know, but she was fucking Dustin Johnson like 3/4 years ago and thats why they got divorced. DJ also fucked Jimmy Walkers wife earlier this year, but that story isn’t super well known and i dont think Gretzky knows it either. emailed boston but doubt they read it, the rory rumor he said on the rundown a week ago is actually true. golf circles have been talking about and apparently the chick was in the hospital he had cuts all over himself, why he wore long sleeves at the BMW.
furthermore, alan shipnukc just tweeted this out:

Alan Shipnuck @ AlanShipnuck · 1h Good lord, someone I trust just called with the most outrageous rumor imaginable on the Wozzilroy breakup. If true, the Earth stops spinning



I responded:

wait so what’s the rory rumor they said on the rundown?



And was replied with:



Rory broke up with wozniacki because he was having sex with a chick on a glass table, the table broke and they both fell through it. She got cut up from all the broken glass, more so than he did and i guess it was a wakeup call to him that he couldnt keep doing that while also planning to get married. as in he saw himself getting crucified in the media for being the next tiger. so he called her and ended it. he wasn’t “ready for all that marriage entails” i.e not banging other chicks. shipnuck sent out the i heard a crazy rumor tweet earlier today and when i saw that and heard from some other golfers that they had heard the same(im a competitive golfer) i figured there were too many different people talking about it for it not to be at least worth mentioning




As a golf insider, all I can do is post what my sources tell me. It’s all alleged (please don’t sue me, I can barely eat as it is).

Is it true? Probably. Is it awesome? 100% yes. We think golf is a gentleman’s game. Nay! It’s a game of passion. Of lust. Of desire. Swingers and fucking on the greens after the sun goes down. Glass tables breaking, cuts everywhere, divorce papers flying. Golf life.

yessir. he makes Tiger look like a saint. i've hated DJ since he faded a young kid on his way to the range during a practice round at Merion last year. nobody was around and this kid was so nervous. he punk'd him and kept walking. i know it's hard for guys to sign everyone's autograph, i get that, but the kid was so polite and sweet.

Yeah, I think at the local Deja Vu, they're just meth whores.

We should start a thread where everyone lists the names of their local strip joints. I'll start:

Pleasure Island
Sunset Strip
Blue Moon
The Mansion

The best name I have seen is The Great Alaskan Bush Company.......I believe the name was so popular that there is now one in Phoenix.

I love golf... it's a great game, but I always struggle to understand how people can watch it on TV... it's such a terrible watch in that format... (some sports are just better on TV or in person, hockey is MUCH better in person for example)

are there actually a lot of IEers who watch it on television?

I'll turn it on to see if it's a close match. I love watching competition and if two or more are close, then I will sit and watch it(provided it's the final round). But, to just sit and randomly watch golf? No way.

I watch it. I can't tell you why I enjoy it, other than I enjoy golf so watching it is interesting to me. I completely understand how people don't find golf on tv appealing. I will say going to a tournament is very cool. It's great to see how effortless the shots are for the professionals in person.

I would love to go to the Phoenix Open sometime and get into the grandstands on the 16th. Just would be an absolute blast to be a part of that.

I watch all the Majors on TV. I'll catch a few others on a Saturday or Sunday if the event is right and my schedule warrants it. My bro-in-law has a client who's a professional golfer so there's a vested interest in following him, among others.

I've been to a tournament in person. It's ok. Sunday is fun. But all other days are sort of boring. You miss a ton of shots that you'd otherwise see on TV.

I think the key to watching it on TV is to accept the fact that it's a slow, low-action, calming broadcast. Unless it's a Major (much higher stakes obviously brings some more excitement and Saturday/Sunday is a little more intense).
