Alright, so you’re asking why them golf fellas are wearin’ green ribbons, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t just for looks. This year, 2024, seems like there’s a bunch of reasons, not just one like when they wear pink for that… uh… lady sickness thing, breast cancer, yeah that’s it.
First off, some folks are sayin’ it’s for “Going Green for Ken.” Don’t ask me who Ken is, some golf fella I reckon. The PGA Tour, that’s the big golf guys, they said somethin’ about it. So maybe it’s for him, poor fella, hope he’s alright. This “Going Green” thing, it’s probably to show they care, you know, like when someone’s sick or somethin’.
But then, I heard tell it’s about them head problems, the “mental health” they call it. See, green is the color for that now. It’s like if you’re feelin’ all sad and messed up in the head, green’s your color. They say that young fella, Sahith Theegala, he wore one at that Canadian Open. Good for him, showin’ folks it’s okay to not be okay up here. Mental health, that’s what they’re callin’ it. It’s important, you know. Just like when your leg’s broke, your head can be broke too, need fixin’. And green ribbons, that’s how they’re showin’ they care ’bout that.
Now, this mental health thing, it ain’t just for golf guys. I heard they do it in baseball too, them MLB fellas. Green ribbons on their shirts, same thing. It’s to let folks know, hey, if you’re feelin’ down in the dumps, it’s alright to talk about it. Don’t go keepin’ it all bottled up inside, that ain’t good for nobody.
- Green means sadness in the head, they say
- It’s for them with “bipolar” and “cerebral palsy” too, whatever them big words mean. Sounds like bad head problems to me.
- Green is the color they use, just like pink is for that lady sickness.
And there’s another thing, they call it “Play Yellow”. That’s somethin’ different, for charity, they say. But this year, seein’ all that green, it seems mostly about the head problems. Makes sense, you know, with all the stuff goin’ on in the world. Folks get stressed, get sad. So them golf fellas, they wear green to show they understand. It’s a good thing, I reckon. Shows they ain’t just thinkin’ about hittin’ that little white ball.
So, to sum it up, why are them golfers wearin’ green ribbons today, in 2024? It’s mostly for mental health awareness. To let folks know it’s okay to have head problems, and it’s okay to talk about it. And maybe, just maybe, some are wearin’ it for that Ken fella too. But the big thing, the thing everyone’s talkin’ about, is the head stuff. That’s what the green ribbons are for this year, least that’s what I hear tell.
It’s important, you know, this mental health. It ain’t somethin’ to be ashamed of. So good on them golf fellas for wearin’ them ribbons. Maybe it’ll help someone feel a little less alone, a little less like somethin’s wrong with ’em. We all get a little messed up in the head sometimes, that’s just life. And wearin’ that green ribbon, that’s like sayin’, “Hey, I get it. You ain’t alone.” And that, well, that’s a good thing, real good thing.
So there you have it, that’s the story ’bout them green ribbons. Hope it makes sense. Sometimes these city folks, they use too many fancy words, makes it hard to understand. But that’s the gist of it, plain and simple, just like I told ya.
