Bishop added later in a statement: "I want to apologize to Ian Poulter and anyone else that I might have offended with my remarks on social media that appeared on October 23, 2014. Particularly, I have great remorse that my comments contained the words 'little girl' because I have always been a great advocate for girls and women in golf."


PGA of America board has removed Ted Bishop as president after he lashed out at Ian Poulter via social media for his critical comments of the Ryder Cup captaincy of Nick Faldo and Tom Watson, calling the British golfer a "lil girl."

Poulter criticized the golfing greats for their performance as Ryder Cup captains in a new book. Faldo led the European team that lost in 2008; Watson oversaw the Americans' lopsided defeat in Scotland last month.

"Faldo's record stands by itself," Bishop tweeted on Thursday night. "Six majors and all-time RC points. Yours vs. His? Lil Girl."

On Facebook, the president wrote: "Really? Sounds like a little school girl squealing during recess. C'MON MAN!"

1. Drunk tweeting? Social media, what is it good for? Folks do know what they post is actually seen?

And retained...forever?

2. I'm not sure they get that.

I have never and never will have a Facebook or Instagram account for that very reason.

I'll keep my DU account forever though.

3. With you there. Do not even know what Instagram is, just assumed it was just more crap.

Left Huff Post, they wanted a Facebook account...told them to fuck off. Opened my account here. Only thing I will ever thank Facebook for.

Plus they would not let me say "fuck off", even sarcastically.

Fuckers.

4. We then. Fuck off.

5. "Oh, and I want my cushy job back."

It's kind of hard to unscramble an egg.
