Some silly questions, but the quote below about getting fit was interesting. I'd have to add Greg Norman might have perhaps encouraged better fitness among golfers before Tiger Woods did.

Quote:
“I think [golf] has progressed a lot and has become more of an athletic look. You look at some of the moves guys make at the ball nowadays; you need to be strong in certain areas. You don’t need to be built like a linebacker, but you need to have stability and strength in certain areas and of course, if more golfers look athletic, it portrays a much better image for the game. That encourages kids to pick up the sport or a club. Maybe it encourages their parents to get into golf as well because 15-20 years ago the image of golf wasn’t athletic. It wasn’t what it is now and Tiger has changed that. You look at some of the younger guys who are now on tour now and I think that’s a great thing for golf.”

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Saw it this a.m. Disappointed w/ the banter. Dan Patrick usually has some good questions - but had some lame ones today.  Half the time it sounds like he's just trying to be buddy buddy with the interviewee instead of asking worthwhile questions.   Awkward questions handled pretty well by Rory -  sound like Rory is extremely busy when not golfing, doing promotional stuff (NIKE).  Dude needs a vacation.

The delay on the phone connection makes it difficult to banter. He's better with in studio guests or when the phone relay is immediate.
