Professional Golf: Ka-ching! Ka-chong!

 They’re Playing the TV Money Song
 
“Here’s a billion dollars for you, lad’ said the PGA chief  
“Put it outta sight, cause you’re really just a thief
To think that you’ve earned it ‘twould be a crime
What you really deserve is about one thin little dime.”
 
“The real purpose of golf is actually quite funny
It’s on a par with eggs from the Easter bunny
You’re not a hero, golf’s not about givin’
You’re just a kid who can’t earn a real livin’.”
 
“When they put a microphone in your cute little face
Make certain the camera’s are rollin’ and you’re standin’ in place
Remember to say ‘I, I, I, I, I’ and ‘me’
You don’t say nothin’ to nobody about me.”
 
“Cause they think you’re special, kid, now hide those pimples
Why, hell, even your balls have cute little dimples.
It’s not about money, that’s what we keep plyin’
But it is and you know it, so keep right on lyin’.”
 
“So hit ‘em straight and hit ‘em long
Hit ‘em right or hit ‘em wrong
Hit’em smack on the ol’ sweet spot
Now I gotta ask ya, ‘Is this a great country, or what?’ ”

As with the purses of CEOs, the paychecks for those in so-called, “sports,” have risen far beyond the paycheck of average Joe golf player. It is strange that college coaches get paid more than philosophy teachers (a whole lot more!).

All young boys got to do is drive cars fast, play golf or tennis––perhaps bowl a good round and he can make a damn good living the rest of his life playing games and not really contributing anything to society except his weekly tour of exotic places and his continual selling of himself and his “sponsors.”

Thank you for pointing out the idiocy of all this.

Seems some forget the rules or do they? Can't throw him out, that would not be nice, even if he cheated they changed the rules so it's ok for a golfer to penalize himself or forget to do so. Honor has its exemptions.

With Shania Twain/Hedley music......the 20 foot birdie
put on 72nd hole, 8 under par....sounds good,
then...the sudden death playoff.....it heartens me to know
that Adam Scott got himself the spot in the PGA Slam of Golf
at Port Royal Golf Course (October, 2013),in Southampton Bermuda.
Delighted!
