For NAH and all other KP lovers.
Saw this article and though you might enjoy it. It seems that the world outside GR is waking up to ole KP. Another case of GR being in the forefront and setting the trends.
Miscalculated Public Perception?
Forty-nine year old PGA Tour veteran Kenny Perry has long been heralded as one of the true “nice guys” of the Tour. While it certainly seems this way on tv and through the way that he carries himself, I can’t help but remember two surprising incidents involving him within the last year that have totally changed my perception of him. Recently, Kenny fired his long-time caddie Fred Sanders in favor of putting his son, Justin on the bag. While I certainly don’t have a problem with Kenny wanting his son on the bag, it’s the way that Kenny handled it that was so classless and sad. Kenny fired his longtime caddie through his agent the day after he had caddied for him at the Barclays tournament, and when asked about the move all Kenny would say was, “Guys, I really don’t want to talk about that.” That’s like breaking up with a longtime significant other through a text message. Why couldn’t Kenny simply just have had a one on one with his caddie to tell him of the move? One other incident was following last year’s Ryder Cup, after Kenny helped the U.S. pull off an impressive victory in his home state of Kentucky. Immediately following the event was the FedEx Cup’s finale, The Tour Championship. Kenny whined and moaned about having to play in a golf tourney immediately after the Ryder Cup rather than getting to relax and enjoy the victory, saying, “It's ruined my greatest week in my life, coming here. It really has.” Wow Kenny, playing four days of golf at a historic golf course where last place pays over $100,000 really must be tough, I feel really bad for you. It’s really a shame that sometimes public perception just isn’t the full picture.
