11:31 AM ET 10.24 | The reputation of the World Golf Hall of Fame is a work in progress, which is why I was a bit disappointed last month at the news that George H.W. Bush will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame next May in the Lifetime Achievement category. Nothing against the former president: The issue is whether he legitimately ranks as one of the 130 or so most important world golf figures of all time.

Sounds political to me. I'm sure Finchem is just rear-kissing at this point. But, as long as they don't let his son in I'm fine with this.

I don't think just playing a lot of golf qualifies a person for the HOF. Nor does playing a lot of golf as a public figure make you an "ambassador" of the game.

No way should he be inducted into the Golf HOF. It's purely a Kiss **** move, just like jonisagolfan stated.

Of course he shouldn't be in the Hall and W doesn't want to be there either. Obama however should be. He's never lost a ball in the water cause he can walk on it and play it where it lies. His Titleists float you know.

What an absolute mess this thread is. You'd think that FN would just delete the crap entirely instead of telling us that the comment has been removed. Invest in some new technology guys!!

And why is a fine publication like WSJ talking about naming a former president to the HOF. Decent guy, makes no sense, never will, all of which means he'll be inducted much to the confusion of most golf fans. After all, since when did our opinions matter?
