So I have been saying nothing exciting has been happening in the world of golf. Can’t say that anymore. Although I wouldn’t characterize the current headlines as ‘exciting’. And it’s not just the world of golf that’s paying attention.
The situation has been discussed/written about ad nauseum by both people who have more knowledge of the situation than I do, and by those who have the same knowledge of the situation as I do, which is nil. I have nothing to add that hasn’t been said by someone somewhere by now.
I will just say that I feel for all those involved. It may have been self inflicted, but it is still a very sad situation, made worse by the constant publicity. Painful discussions will take place and difficult decisions will be made, which will then be analyzed and second guessed to death by people who weren’t present during the gut wrenching process, but will still feel qualified to comment and voice their opinions on the out come. Such is the price of fame I guess.
Rather ironic that this entire situation, which pretty much goes against the entire ethos of the game of golf, is swirling around (arguably) the worlds greatest golfer.
