Thanks for all the comments. Sounds like a dog and pony show in a nice prissy garden for folks who like idol worship. PGA tournaments in general walk the line between tedium and absurdity. The golfers are prima donnas, who wear clothing that would be perceived as humiliating to wear anywhere but a golf course, and they are too fragile to even carry their own clubs, They spend most of their time preening like girls. And lets talk about the endless personality quirks: as example, while standing over the ball, and trying to “concentrate:” Fix the crease in the pants, tug on the short sleeve shirt, touch the nose, shuffle the feet, pull the pants up a notch, rub the right hand on the pant leg, re adjust the glove --and how many gloves do they go through in a day? And my personal favorite, the endless readjusting of the back of the shirt collar. These guys are so OCD and twitchy you’d think they were both on Ritalin and in early stage of MS and not professional athletes. And then there are the ferocious little temper tantrums. Pro golfers make the 2nd laziest “athletes” on the planet, baseball players, look like pro wrestlers by comparison. And somehow it’s all justified because they are praying for a lot of money. Ugh.

Lebenz - I'm floored by your comments about "who wants to watch other people play golf" Are you sure you are really a golfer?

I am sure. Are you sure you’re not a voyeur?
Well have fun. I guess there is something to take money away from everyone.....
