With a wife who is defense attorney I can't tell you the number of times I see body cam footage where very minor things get escalated very fast...but I'm also pro-police so unscramble that one. haha. Lost in all of this is we have to remember a human lost their life this morning and that's the real shame. Admittedly, the golfer involved influences the perception. Scottie Schefler - Mr. Vanilla If it would have been John Daly, or someone known to be hot-tempered like John Rahm, it's not quite as shocking. As far as the death of the pedestrian, I'm not intimitely familiar with the Valhalla entrance, but I do know that Shelbyville Road carries a LOT of traffic on a normal day. Have we heard whether the pedestrian was trying to cross the road to get into Valhalla? Or, was it someone walking/jogging past the golf course for another reason? Weather was horrible, so understandable that the shuttle driver may not have seen the pedestrian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the victim was a worker for one of the vendors?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think poor visibility due to weather was a contributing factor. If people are going to need to cross the road for an event like this, there needs to be a pedestrian pedway over the road. That road is too busy to cross on a normal day, let alone for a big event like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the weather and being unable to follow his normal routine and the arrest…I think shooting par today would be good. He’s two under through nine holes. Seems to be playing okay.

Well, he’s played more than okay…5 under par with one hole to play. Sitting two behind the leader, Morikawa. Scheffler just doesn’t let anything bother him. Question is what will Schauffele do today with a soft receptive course? Edited May 17 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a misunderstanding that didn't need the escalation. Now watch him shoot a 64. Not quite…but impressively close…66. SMH 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The City of Louisville is going to lose the PR battle on this one in a big, big way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for the Ville this will be old news by next week. I think the owner of Valhalla driving Scottie to the course was a nice gesture. I wouldn't want to be one of the LPD guys involved...although I will say this. Rules are rules....but as I understand things the arresting officer wasn't aware of the lane for the players/media so it just escalated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if what you mentioned in the last paragraph is true, that the officer was not informed of the rule, that's on the LMPD. The officer that directed him to that lane was aware, so their was a communication breakdown among the police ranks. It wont be front page news next week, but it will be a factor when negotiating to bring future high profile events to the city. Yes, it 'could' happen anywhere, but the fact is it didn't/hasn't. It happened in Louisville and the economic backlash will ultimately be felt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping cooler heads prevail and this goes away....I will say I doubt Valhalla is returned for an event anytime soon. I'm not that familiar with that area of town and don't know what the infrastructure is like for events but it sounded like amateur hour at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who did that to MM but I know I wasn't one. On a PGA related note....Zalatoris just said he told his own parents to not come because of how poorly things were setup including traffic. Said it took him 2 hours to go 2 miles this morning including walking with Cam Young and Eckroat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 A local perspective. Rick Bozich's column today. The 'Romines' referenced in the sections of the article I quoted is Scheffler's attorney. https://www.wdrb.com/news/bozich-schefflers-attorney-says-traffic-chaos-miscommunication-led-to-golfers-arrest/article_b0a6de38-1473-11ef-a953-870ad2793f20.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else on the LIV roster you take at lower than 5-1 odds against Scheffler head to head? Scheffler is doing Tiger level things right now. Those other guys I listed are similar to Herschel Walker and Steve Young being in the USFL. Great players, but doing it in the NFL meant more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and I fall on that side of things as well but of course given the division people will always say he's not doing it vs the best....and of course I counter yes he is. Check the majors. Either way Scheffler is playing unreal golf right now. Excited to see what this week brings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
