Lou Dobbs, Former Fox Business Host and Trump Booster, Dies at 78
He used his platforms on CNN and Fox Business to share baseless conspiracy theories. His tenure at Fox ended after the network was sued for defamation over claims of voting machine fraud.

Good riddance.

Unfortunately, the flat FH taught by Lansdorp is no longer viable in the tour.

A great coach...
I was just thinking during the US Open about not having heard about him in a while...

So influential in the modern game.
