Official world golf rankings officially suck calling the official world golf rankings laughable today um cam Smith is going to miss out on going to the Olympic Games to represent Australia so Australia gets four players that can go to the Olympics and represent Jason day right he’s a top ranked he’s a top

Ranked Australian though cam Smith is better golfer than him minwu Lee has moved ahead of Cam Smith I like but he’s not better than cam Smith he’s not better than cam Smith so going to get four right so that shouldn’t be a problem for cam Smith because he’s currently the fourth ranked Australian

Except just below cam Smith is Adam Scott and just below Adam Scott it’s Cameron Davis and you know that these guys are going to get points Just for participating in PGA Tour events trash it’s trash man cam Smith’s not going to represent Australia when he is the

Captain of the Australian team not we’re not going to have the best play we’re not going to have some of our best players they 100% only use the official World Golf rank we we got Scotty sheer Xander shley Patrick canay Windham Clark are all in the top 15 obviously yeah so

Those guys would be the auto qualifiers shle won the golf so A’s defending gold medals yeah so to continue on what Greg Norman said eight golfers from Liv not counting the guys who were recent signings that are in the top 100 how do you think Liv golfer should go about

This should they be quiet and just say this is the choice we made we understood the consequences no should be talking squeaky wheel gets the grease right I I’m I’m on the other side of that I think they should just be quiet and keep playing just keep playing just go go to

These other tournaments like they’re doing this weekend just just keep playing do as much give yourself as much exposure and play as much as possible and maybe something will you know something will click but someone somewhere then maybe we should give These Guys these guys should be able to

Play in all these events you know Olympics and you know uh majors and other like that so the countries that were like a a golf Federation for the United States or whatever could look at these guys and say well this guy belongs here more than you know player a

Belongs you more than player D or or something at least for the other countries maybe they can they can work something out you know what I’m saying you’re not sending your four best players if you want your country to win mle I think you got a point there though

If you’re watching and actually I think our third highest uh viewership country is Australia America won Great Britain too they know they know what they’re doing like go and get on the streets and be like yo somebody step down from this team and make sure that cam Smith like

If you’re Ryan fox or you’re Min woy you’re going to be a hero in Australia if you’re like you know what yeah technically I earned it but I didn’t earn it because cam Smith’s a better golfer than me is it the Olympic Committee that chooses how that works indidual countries there’s an Olympic

Golf Association or Olympic Golf for each yeah for each Co for committee for each country but but the rule but the rules are kind of kind of garbage if you think what’s the objective of of the competition to win a gold medal correct you goddamn right yes wouldn’t you bring

Your wouldn’t you bring your best players regardless of where they play they get to pick whoever they want ul and they just they just use rankings to to to justify their picks
