But What Did They Really Think of the Skins Game?

I’ve played golf for 70 years and have always found the courses and people I’ve played with to be very interesting and enjoyable. However, heaven forbid I ever witness another Skins Game.

The four monkeys who were led around with rings in their noses by the promoters of last week’s Skins Game should either donate all their winnings to charity or, along with the sponsors, join up and return that pockmarked, miserably called golf course to its original desert beauty.

What more self-serving drivel than to watch four pampered millionaires playing for funny money, acting like they’re playing a $20 Nassau or for “loser buys drinks” over a grueling format of nine holes per day, studded with patronizing, egocentric cameo interviews, and then sprinkled with Bighorn advertisements parading as golf commentary, viz., Vin Scully interviewing Jim Colbert, the resident pro?

This is sports? This is rubbish.
