SI Golf Group's 40 Under 40

I'm shocked, shocked that as the purveyor of this website the SI Golf Group did not deem me part of the "up-and-coming generation of influencers, trendsetters and newsmakers, an eclectic mix of talent worth watching today and for many years to come."

But then I learned how they came up with their list.

Nominees for this ranking were solicited from a variety of sources, including but not limited to the PGA Tour, the LPGA, the United States Golf Association, The First Tee, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, the American Society of Golf Course Architects, leading equipment manufacturers, and the editorial staff of the Sports Illustrated Golf Group. The finalists were determined by a panel of Golf Magazine editors.

Now Herre, there are people in those organizations I haven't offended in weeks!

Oh I know, you thought I was born in '69, that's what it was. Just an oversight.

Who's Tiger Woods?

90% of the golf "influencers" routinely visit your "platform" -- and the other 10% are liars.

[OWGR Fan]

Donnie Trump Jr ??????? AYFKM?

[Petter]

The players are redicilous to include where essentially everyone could be include, except Vijay, Phil, Ernie, Fred and Langer...

[Amen Coroner]

The Howard Stern of golf... ever been called that before?

Boy, that's disappointing. Best of and Top lists are usually so accurate.

Golf Mag is at the top of my Least Influential list.

Boy, it is a good thing that Martin Kaymer didn't make the list - what a weak resume that guy has - a major championship victory, three consecutive wins, one win away from being the new World #1, a winning Ryder Cup record, the best record in the previous five majors leading up to his victory at the PGA and the most worldwide wins of anyone under 30. What a bum and a loser - he should never qualify for a list such as the top 40 under 40. Thank God only truly qualified players made the list.

40 friends of the author under 40....

Always love a good Casablanca reference, particularly from one so young.
Golf Magazine is pathetic...if it weren't for school fundraisers, I would let my subscription go.

Geoff, has Tiger gotten back to you about that hour-long sit-down interview yet?

The Li'll Donald is a surprise, at that. Not. He's probably in charge of Pine Valley #2 and Balmedie #1.

Henchman , Lynch?

Did they muscle their way on?


Donnie Trump? Inherit the spin.

Man, I thought this was gonna be 40 golf courses of note for a $40 green fee..

[Kevin]

Very high bar for making the list...agent for Tim Herron and up and comer Juli Inkster?

[Patrick]

Interesting article...

[Del the Funk]

Donnie Trump is capable of spending a LOT of advertising $$$'s in the future...

[Jack Lenon]

I know I am a good golfer..name wasn't every thing I guess..

When I saw the list, the first name I looked for, Geoff, was yours.
I was unhappy when I didn't see it.

[Kevin Fletcher]

I'll gladly share my slot with you Geoff. We'd have to be half influential each...but I'm OK with that if you are?
