PGA Tour Player Appears Unshaven In Mug Shot; Fine Expected!

But at least he took his hat off and probably shook hands with the photographer, so go easy with the fines for conduct unbecoming, Commissioner.

Here's what I'm fascinated by most from Brian Wellner's report (thanks reader Will) on PGA Tour member Matt Every getting busted for pot possession:

Every was arrested and booked into the Scott County Jail on Tuesday evening. He was released later that evening after posting bond.

Also charged with drug possession are Derek Mason, 28, and William Hicks, 49. No addresses were listed for them in court records. They also were released after posting bond.

According to the PGA Tour website, Every turned pro in 2006. He finished in the Top 10 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in May and is tied for 99th in putting average on the PGA Tour, the website states.

Is Wellner trying to say that maybe Every looked to the pot to help with the putting average? Or does that 99 speak to some other sign we should have seen coming?

Somebody called the police because of the smell of marijuana? Good grief! What is this world coming to when you can't get baked in the privacy of a hotel room?

They hate us because we are free.

Par-helper, anyone, or swing-collapser?

[Tommy Naccarato]

I guess he'll be playing only in California here after the first of the year. (when Mary Jane Juana is finally legalized)

My God, arrest for pot possession? What happened to being ticketed?

[NRH]

No wet towel under the door?
Why would he/they even open the door/let them in? Know your rights Mr. Every.
The Phoenix Open is in May now?
Who the hell combs the Bettendorf police blotter and cross checks it to the PGA Tour roster?

[fatgoalie]

I thought he legally changed his name to
"The Big Break's Matt Every" ?

This is just the tip of the plant.

His only Top 10...The Wasted Open.

If this dumbass had gone to college in the 1970s he would have known how to avoid this little contretemps. Not that I needed that knowledge myself. Personally speaking that is. Somebody pass the Doritos. I bet L'il Tim's BVDs are gonna be in a twist.

He should have stayed in Illinois. Going to Iowa was his first mistake! Flinchum will make him pay dearly for this. Image can't handle "druggies".

Do they test the employees at Saw"grass"?

[choastie]

He's already failed a PGA Tour drug test. It will be interesting to see how Finchem handles this one. He probably should've done something more legal, like have 18 mistresses.

RE the 99th in putting comment.. there is a card game called 99 that rewards the winner with a puff.

Who wants to take a guess at how many players use the super drug Adderall for their ADHD attention deficit hyper disorder which we all know enhances concentration and focus to make A students outta C students?

[Tomcat]

I thought all golfers played on grass?

[Phil the Author]

My dad was right... marijuana destroys Every man...

[Claude]

The Tour can impose a fine up to $500,000??????

Hey, it's Frodo.

"Authorities knocked on the door, and the marijuana odor intensified when an occupant opened the door...."
