Folks, as LIV Golf Derangement Syndrome continues its path to become a mental health pandemic, people like Eamon Lynch keeps reminding us, it is real and it is here to stay.

Between him and his cohost Damon Hack, they cannot stay away from talking about LIV Golf and complaining about the Saudi connection.

Frankly, it has gotten pretty old. Everyone knows where the money is coming from and most people do not care. No matter how much Lynch wants to make it an issue, the people who most matter, the players, have dismissed it.

Lynch, who is openly gay, wants to make LIV Golf about gay issues. Saudi Arabia is not the only Muslim country in the world who does not approve of homosexuality, that is a fact.

It seems to me, Lynch is only complaining about Saudi Arabia because they are the ones financing LIV Golf and his personal disdain towards LIV Golf CEO, Greg Norman.

I am in the camp of live and let live, but Lynch wants to inject his personal lifestyle into the golf conversation.

For People like Lynch, if you do not agree with his world view, you are the problem, so he will insult you and attempt to intimidate you into seeing things his way.

He complained about Paul Casey when he was asked by Christine Brennan, another media hack from USA Today, about the treatment of gays in Saudi Arabia.

Paul Casey’s answer was that he was not knowledgeable enough about the subject to answer the question. As a rational human being, I believe that was an honest answer, but to an agenda driven person like Lynch, it was not enough.

Listening to Lynch, he sounds petty and small. Lynch will serve his audience best by keeping his personal agenda away from the game.

Live and let live Eamon!
