Timmer wins Jean-Claude Van Damme Memorial
Openly taunting his opponents while sweeping to another tour victory, Warren Timmer was fined $5,000 by GLNRSTDGA Commissioner Harvey P. Freen for unsportsmanlike conduct. Verbal harrassment and "nutting" an opposing player with a putter were both listed as formal reasons for the reprimand.
In the press conference following the match, Freen addressed reporters: "While we appreciate Mr. Timmer's disc golf skill and the cadre of fans known as 'Timmer's Troopers', we also must ensure the safety of all players and maintain the staid traditions of this sport. Over its glorious 600-year history, disc golf has never been as popular... nor as controversial. With stellar yet controversial personalities, we must carefully balance fan appeal with a respect for tradition and sportsmanship."
Timmer was not pleased with the fine and protested the reprimand. "These little bezatches always get all up in my grille after I dominate they a**es. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. S**t. Buncha crackas."
He then stomped off and boarded his Gulfstream before reporters could ask any questions.
