Ryder Cup team competition is by far my favorite televised golf event. It’s been a long two years since Boo galloped down the fairway, but this coming Monday the hype begins again. Everything will be analyzed to death by a horde of golf reporters. Frankly, I can do without their yakking.
If Phil and Tiger play together, so be it. If Fowler proves to be a wise choice, so be it. If the quiet Furyk takes a leadership role, so be it. Just let them play!!!
Back in “the day” there were three national publications and a few regional magazines dedicated to golf. Most golfers subscribed with game improvement as their objective. It was a simpler time and television was just beginning golf coverage. Now, we have even more print vehicles, a ton of online from web sites to eMagazines and a television channel dedicated to golf with their own web site of course.
At the risk of oversimplification, which I’m about to do, that’s entirely to much media dedicated to golf. If you’re like me, you have information overload! More and more I’m tuning out the talking heads and only coming back for tournament coverage.
Most of us play golf because we love the game, not the drama.
