Duke Explains Why They Kicked Rudy Giuliani's Son to the Curb

It has been nearly two months since we've checked in with the ongoing battle between Andrew Giuliani and the University of Duke golf team, but finally the real story is surfacing.

It turns out, Rudy Giuliani's son, who was dismissed from the Duke golf team in February and decided to sue the University, might have been a bit of a hot-head on the golf course. Oh, and off the golf course too. Yeah, both of those.

Giuliani sued Duke in July, claiming he was improperly cut from the team earlier this year and that the coach violated a contract he entered when he agreed to come to the university and pay $200,000 in tuition and fees.

But Duke said in a court filing Wednesday that the 22-year-old Giuliani was properly suspended after throwing an apple in the face of another player, breaking a golf club during a tournament, injuring a teammate and becoming verbally abusive with a coach.

Call me batty, but that sure sounds like the kind of kid I want on my golf team!

Honestly, if these reports are true, which I'm assuming are since they were noted in a court filing, what in the would was Giuliani thinking? Did he think the coach just forgot he was a (jerk)?

He wasn't a good collegiate golfer, he was obviously a problematic teammate and he seems to be a bit of a baby. Other than that, not so bad.

Surely this will end the poor attempt for a spoiled little kid to get his way with a respected collegiate program like Duke. If you're the best golfer on the team, and one that will compete in most tournaments, like Spencer Levin back is his immature days, coaches will overlook that sort of thing. If your scoring average is over 75 and you're tossing produce at teammates, your wick is near burned out.
