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.
