"What were considered rebellious acts back then are now celebrated traditions."

Peter Kostis rightly slams the Champions Tour for not offering Ken Green an extension to make up for the lost tournament time caused by his horrific RV accident.

But it was this that shows just how much times have changed, but also is part of Kostis' case that Green is likely the victim of his renegade ways of the past:

Did you know he was the first player to have his son as a caddie in the Masters Par-3 Tournament? He got a letter of reprimand for that. Ken and Mark Calcavecchia were the first players to skip the ball across the pond on 16 during practice rounds at Augusta, not Seve Ballesteros as most people think. He got a letter of reprimand for that. What were considered rebellious acts back then are now celebrated traditions.
