Philip Alfred Mickelson of Rancho Santa Fe, on the other hand, was only left by his bootless soldiers, as the reason he employed them slipped away. As for the symbolic suffocation on unnecessary greed, he himself served that perishable cocktail and swallowed it.

Apologies are less about atonement for past mistakes than about setting the table for future humor, so it was worth mentioning that Mickelson's statement released Tuesday most likely did not direct atonement to those whom he insulted. but for those to whom he told the truth.

His golf fans would believe that he is martyring himself for the betterment of the game, while in fact he has associated himself with people who are vastly experienced in making martyrs.
