It would take big kahuna's to put $85000 on a 14-1 chance and add to that tiger is always alot shorter in price than he should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kidd Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) My strong instincts to unload have never been that strong so we have to admire his determination. I'm sure for every one of him there is a very long line who's wager did not end happily ever after. Would have loved to watch him during the last round. Bet he couldn't sit still.

Frankly if he had $85k to lose without bankrupting himself or being financially stuffed then he didnt have big Kahunas. Its when you take that gamble knowing you are risking everything that takes guts. Good on him either way. , 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf has too many variables and unknowns. He might as well have been at a roulette table. And he has a mortgage on his house and 2 car loans??
