" from strictly a business perspective the tour needs to do a better job of eliminating the nobodys "

The problem is that you take fifty "nobodies" who are, after all, very good at golf, and some random one of them or the other is going to turn in a star quality performance most weeks, I am more impressed by the guys who are always in the top five, like Furyk, but he does lack star quality, sorry to say.

The PGA tour product is too diluted- too many players and too many events. It's become a victim of its own success. Reduce the number of events and cut the size of the fields in half. This isn't what the average tour player wants to hear but it's what the game needs. Unfortunately there's too much talent and too many no-names winning on a weekly basis. We live in a star driven world and from strictly a business perspective the tour needs to do a better job of eliminating the nobodys and cultivating the careers of the stars on tour.

Yes we live in a star driven world which is shameful.

Yes take care of the business side of golf but let's not forget it's a sport.

I'm sure the average golf fan couldn't care less about the corporate machine.

Yes, I think the game is fine. TV was only meant to entertain us, in between the times when we can't play. Too bad the golf coverage is less about watching shots and appreciating the aptitude versus listening to a has been or never was and the "over hype" of the moment or drill endless blather about things unrelated.

    • does anybody still use a 7 wood? if not what do you use instead>  
    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.  
    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
