Golfer Supremacy Rankings looking for its own Butch Harmon

We here at the Golfer Supremacy Rankings are looking for a good rankings coach. Because we’ve got the basics of ranking golfers down cold, see, but some times small errors creep into our routine. Like the time we accidentally ranked Pol Pot as the world’s No. 1 golfer. That was embarrassing. The guy couldn’t break 80 if several million of his countrymans’ lives depended on it.

So if any of you have any tips, feel free to guide them our way. Those we do feel pretty comfortable with this week’s rankings, which cover the gamut from player, coach and terrorist.

Golfer Supremacy Rankings

1. Butch Harmon
Comments: After winning The Players Championship, Phil Mickelson literally lavished praise on Harmon. Their relationship couldn’t be more Harmon-monious if we found the two making out to a Barry White song on the 18th green. So while our first pick for this slot was Mickelson - he has had some success on the PGA Tour before, we’re reminded - we had to go with his new swing coach, after Lefty made it abundantly clear it was he who really won the “fifth major.”

2. Sean O’Hair

Comments: Let’s get this out of the way first: Sean O’Hair had a tumultuous relationship with his overbearing father. Sean O’Hair had a tumultuous relationship with his overbearing father. Sean O’Hair had a tumultuous relationship with his overbearing father. Sean O’Hair had a tumultuous relationship with his overbearing father. Sean O’Hair had a tumultuous relationship with his overbearing father.

There, now we’ve covered the legal requirement of mentioning O’Hair’s relationship with his dad. That out of the way, a gritty performance by O’Hair, who has impressed several times this season. Will his collapse at No. 17 hurt him? Likely not, he truly was being too aggressive. He didn’t choke. And his grace and composure afterward is just one of the reason many are looking forward to O’Hair’s future, rather than continuing to look back.

3. Luis Posada
Comments: Any chance that the nearly 80-year-old Posada would be moved away from the golf courses of Florida to face justice for being a murdering terrorist were cleanly wiped away due to administrative errors in the case against him for entering the US illegally. He is now free to enjoy his retirement in one of the great golf destinations of the U.S.

Posada, a veteran anti-Castro militant and CIA operative under George Bush Sr., is wanted in Venezuela and Cuba for allegedly plotting to blow up a Cuban airliner in which 73 people died in 1976 and has admitted to his involvement in other terrorist plots including a string of bombings in 1997 targeting fashionable Cuban hotels and nightspots.

Seriously, if you’re down in Florida, try and play a round of golf with this guy. Oh, the stories he has to tell.

Honorable Mention: PGA writer/blogger Grant Boone, for being a good sport.
