Colin Montgomerie: Friend or Foe?

I would have to say friend. I know there are a lot of people out there that don't like Colin Montgomerie, but I like him. The only reason I mention Colin now is because it was announced the other day that he is getting divorced. The divorce is the excuse being used as to why he is not having a great year this year. Here's an article about his failed marriage. I am not a fan of lame excuses for any PGA Tour player that is not playing well, especially one of Colin's caliber. A car accident or being attacked by a pack of wild rottweilers is acceptable, a wife telling you to pack your bags is not. You are a professional you should be able to separate your personal life from work. The irony here is that supposedly Colin's dedication to golf and not family has caused the divorce. Now the lack of family is causing his golf to go down the toilet.

I can't blame his wife for wanting a divorce, he's probably not an easy guy to live with. But for us golf fans he's fun to watch. He has a great swing and he shows emotion. Whether he's happy or pissed off Colin let's you know. This is the type of player I like to watch, just one look at his face and you can tell what kind of round he's having. Unlike the winner last week.

Colin Montgomerie there are many people in the United States that don't like you, but for what it's worth No Three Putts likes to watch you play.
