So, last week, Kenny Perry finished sixth at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee instead of playing in the British Open. You may have heard something about this. I'm fine with Perry's decision, although not everybody feels that way, particularly his PGA Tour colleagues.

Good news, though, Kenny: Davis Love III's got your back.

"Kenny is a great guy. There's nothing bad in his heart," Love said. "He wasn't complaining. He just doesn't want to play."

What bothers Love more are the players that do fly across the Atlantic and start complaining ... "Just don't come," Love said. "If you're going to have a bad attitude on Thursday before you tee off because it's raining, then don't come, because you're just wasting your time. It's going to be bad, eventually, one way or another."

Davis didn't name names, but the AP suggests that Pat Perez, and his always-sunny disposition, "would have been a candidate for saying the rain and wind in the first round didn't feel like golf." I would also like to nominate Rich Beem, whose British Open experience lasted nine holes before he decided that not shooting a 90 was more important than finishing his round.

I agree with Love -- if guys don't want to be at the British, stay home -- but it's hardly news, I think. Golfers, no matter their nationality, have been complaining about the sport, well, forever. That a few of them aren't crazy about rain and wind is barely surprising. I mean, it's not like golf is actually a sport.
