  1. sounds like you're in love, send him your phone number.
  2. Jack is still the greatest. Please don't qualify your argument with how many 2nd place finishes he had. But....Tiger plays the game in an era were there are MORE elite players then Jack. Lets just see what happens instead of jumping the gun?

  4. Bri, is the hottest golfer i've ever seen.
  5. Sir, You've highlighted what Norman is alluding to when you say the Kemper has trouble finding a sponsor. It has become too expensive to sponsor a tournament now. So if they start to lose 'smaller' tournaments because sponsors cannot front the prizemoney anymore, the TOUR shrinks. I don't think Norman is talking about the indivual wealth of the top 150 players. The TOUR is now devouring the hand that feeds it.
  6. Norman is correct in saying what he said. One dominant player on the TOUR is not what made the game popular on T.V. Viewer interest increased through the 60's, 70's and 80's because of rivalry and drama. Also fans felt a closer connection to the game because the explosion of technology had not infected the game, SKILL not power were the hallmarks of a great player. I'm not denying Tiger has skill, quite the opposite. He is the best the game has seen, but he dominates the game so much that it's boring to tune in and watch. It's like watching an NFL game between the Colts and the Cardinals.....you know who is going to win and by roughly what margin so why bother watching. The way the networks cover the golf is appalling aswell. It takes about 15 minutes from intro to see a single shot. First they'll do a bit on the course, then the weather, then the history of the event,then a commercial, then what NASCAR race in coming up in 2 weeks, then the talking heads will do a 5 minute blurb, then an interview with anybody,then a commercial, then "did you know Monk returns this week?", then someone holing a 2 foot putt for par, then a commercial.....and so on until at quarter past the hour they show Tiger Woods hitting a tee shot.......then go to a break. You get the idea! If they showed someone playing an entire hole, or guys playing the course or the ball flight in relation to the ground or target. They have multiple cameras, why not use them all for all the players?? If the coverage was better, golfers(and there are alot of us out there) would tune in by the millions.Don't you agree???
