Good day all,

For those of you who watch golf, play golf, and enjoy golf i hope the open championship was as enjoyable to you as it was to me.  For the first time in some years we were treated to a televised event that actually showcased a number of players both professional and amateur instead of the same old Tiger coverage. 

Even better the former world reigning number one took center stage unexpectedly, at 53 years of age.  A Shark instead of a Tiger.   The fact that i actually saw a tremendous number of players televised  making incredible shots  in  ferocious conditions intrigued me.  These displays of skill and ability may not have been shared with the world audience had a certain individual been able to participate. 

The talk about golf losing its viewers and it momentum without Tiger is hogwash.  The media and a lot of fans have lost touch with the deep pool of talent in professional golf.  In fact the same Irishman who won the open last year with Tiger in the field succeeded in repeating the feat.  Up to the challenge even after a recent wrist injury.  What a performance.  Fending off the Shark, the wind and the rest of the field.

Golf fans everywhere were treated to a magical major in a historical place.  So to all the Tiger loving fans out there i invite you to get familiar with the rest of the talent in professional golf.  Enjoy the time he is away from the game and get back to being a spectator of the game, the whole game not just one part of it.
