Just can't stop Kenny Green's frankness and good humor when dealing with most any subject.
Today it's European captain Colin Montgomerie's three picks to fill his his 12-man Ryder Cup team that will play the United States Oct. 1-3 at Celtic Manor in Wales.
As usual, Kenny has an opinion --- a really strong one, as usual --- and isn't afraid to say it publicly.
Here's his latest thoughts on his blog:
Mount this,
I have no choice but to open up my mouth again. How on earth does Mountdopey leave off Justin Rose and Paul Casey from the Euro side? Rose has only won twice this year over here (Memorial and AT&T Classic and probably should have won the Travelers Championship). Their qualifying system is obviously flawed. Casey is also much better than the other Euros. Monty has never won over here, which is stunning in its own right. So it will be justice if they lose and you can clearly blame him and their system for their potential failure.
More important is the disgrace of leaving that young man off the team. It has to be personal with not taking either one. Nothing against the Italian (Edoardo Molinaro), but it's very possible a PR stun to help European golf -- brothers is a story (Fernando Molinaro is also on the team). Clearly, you might be able to tell I'm not a Mountdopey fan. He has been an ass for as long as he has been around. I will wager that he will someday be elected into the Hall of Fame and never have won in the United States.
Now, for some even more stunning news. My leg has come back firing and has been stupid ugly. We believe it might be connected with the "sympathetic nervous system." There is no doubt in my mind that the recent news has affected my system. The emotional stress I have put on myself is waking up the pain gods I guess. We are going to do another block tomorrow, and if that does not work, we will be putting in a spinal implant that will hopefully help me cut off the pain.
Very glad for Matt Kuchar (won The Barclays on Sunday). He is a good kid and has fought his way back from the bottom.
Be good, my friends. Also, someone invited me to play in Nashville, but I have lost his email. Thank you and think of me next year, but I will be in CT playing a member guest with one of my dearest friends on those dates. I may be a regular on that circuit -- MG, I mean.
Ken
What did I tell you? Kenny has always had the streak of Cosell in him, telling it like it is. That's what I always have loved about him, but it's also why I've told him he never knows when to shut off the faucet. But better too much than too little, like most of the pros these days.
