what a crock of shit - Barry, that is.
yes, it was very informative - if you read between the lines & listen very carefully.... there are so many cliff notes, that it'd be a short story. here are a few, IMO:
- 4 players have not been paid/paid in full; SVB is apparently not 1 of them
- all 4 will be paid before he leaves for DCC
- he can afford to go to DCC
- he had to get a loan to payout
- he lost $30-$40K, but wouldn't state how/why/where
- he needs to hire "honest" employees
- he's had issues @ Q Masters
- the Marriott caused lots of problems
- he never knew of Quan Do's bounced check, till last THU
- he's been using an inhaler 1/day for breathing problems due to stress
- he expects to live another 20-30 years
- he's upset that the previous winners don't wear their US Open jackets onsite
- he's got a BIG name bank to be sponsor & hold funds for next Open, as well as Pepsi in his pocket
- 2015 Open will be @ Sheraton Norfolk
- he's sorry
Mark - the only question you didn't ask, (not that you would have gotten a straight answer) was:
"över the past 90 days, have you & your employees been paid?"
