Phil Mickelson's act of goodness
For some reason, Phil Mickelson seems to draw a lot of negative comments on this blog from some of our readers. But here's one story about Phil that you can't say anything negative about.
Phil volunteered to pay the 4-year college tuition of a total stranger, Holli Dobler, the daughter of former football star Conrad Dobler. Dobler's wife became a quadriplegic after an accident, and most of their money has been spent on her medical bills and rehabilitation. Apparently, Phil heard about the plight of the Doblers and offered to pay for Holli's college tuition -- even though he didn't even know the Dobler family. She's a sophomore at Miami U. in Ohio, current cost at $22,000. (More here)
What a world class gesture on Phil's part.

Very CLASSY gesture on Phil's part. We seldom hear about the good things pro athtetes do. I live close to Miami U. in Ohio and was not aware Conrad's daughter went there.

Phil is the one player on tour that doesn't get enough credit where it is due. Its been an uphill battle for him from the start. Bottom line is he is a class act all the way. Good for him!

No doubt it's a great thing to do, regardless of how much money he has in the bank. Bottom line is that he didn't have to do it. I'm no huge Phil phan, but certainly think that was cool.
Nolan, your statement that "its been an uphill battle for him from the start" is curious though. Somehow I don't think Phil's been singin' the blues too much during the past 30 years or so...lol.
I'm sure Phil's PR machine made sure everybody knew what he what he was doing. He is still a spoiled brat & a the most despised golfer on the PGA tour BY PGA tour players. Enough said.
To use Phils words, " He is a jerk"
This Superbowl garbage is another example of how far he will go for attention. Come on, how underhanded, how sleezy can you get. ITS A BLODDY CALLAWAY PROMOTION.#1 What's he doing with Superbowl tickets in his golf bag on the course during a tournament? #2 Why would he get tickets knowing he was in a tournament that day? #3 The kid was wearing (guess what) a Calalway golf hat.#4You really don't think Phil bought the tickets? The impression Phil's media machine tried to project was WHAT A GREAT GUY. WHAT A PHONY
!!!!!!! With his talent, if he had some substance to go with it, who knows what he could accomplish.
He is a jerk

Ok so Tiger now has his own Gatorade flavor, though I can't imagine Tiger tasting to good I think it will sell pretty well. So Phil should release his own head-ache medicine. So when you head is aching just take a Phil pill, or a chill Phil. It really sells itself.
