We’ve written an obscene amount in the last six days, and the old melon is starting to spin. But we’re up for the challenge, and ready for more. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ… uh where were we? Oh yes, sorry about that error, thought we were fielding a grounder for the Braves.
From the “Talks Too Much Studios” here we go.
Golf looking ahead
We wrote in today’s TFP about golf’s need for a new heavy, one of those week-in, week-out guys that the rest of the field and the rest of the sports world know will have a say in almost every tournament and 90 percent of all the majors for the next decade. NASCAR reached new heights when Dale Sr. was that guy, and they’ve been looking for his replacement since. Tiger Woods was that guy in golf, and they needs to find his replacement now.
Think back before Eldrick grabbed the game by the grips and took over. It was a shuffling of major champion winners like Davis Love or Steve Elkington or Mark Brooks or a slew of forgettable names that dominated the mid 1990s. It was less than gripping.
