Get a better more dramatic setting.<BR/>What I would do to breathe some life into this thing is to get four well-known pros and then have some nationwide contest to select four amateurs and pair them of with the pros. The two-man pro/am teams would play Shamble or best ball match play against one another. Here's the rub - you have to use at least 4 of the Am's drives over the 18 holes. Give the pro's an appearance fee for showing up and let the Am's donate the skin money to the charity of their choice. Sound crazy? Would anyone else watch that?14 STIXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814060079992112119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-12893838556491534602008-11-25T19:38:00.000-05:002008-11-25T19:38:00.000-05:00Yup, old hat, boring.I think we need a golf event ...Yup, old hat, boring.<BR/><BR/>I think we need a golf event where your competitor is hitting a ball back at you.Average Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046762898552584292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-36260652410058989892008-11-25T19:33:00.001-05:002008-11-25T19:33:00.001-05:00Tiger, Daly, Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer might ...Tiger, Daly, Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer might put some life in it, otherwise it's sheer boredom, even for the most ardent golf lover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-24032392074885781852008-11-25T19:33:00.000-05:002008-11-25T19:33:00.000-05:00After reading the title of your post, I was prepar...After reading the title of your post, I was prepared to say that it's still a great event. But, after reading the post and trying to recall the last time I watched, I was forced to reconsider. You're right, it has become sort of outdated. I wish I had a solution to bring it into this century, and potentially save it from extinction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-1975223934539570742008-11-25T18:55:00.000-05:002008-11-25T18:55:00.000-05:00Yes, and very boringYes, and very boringBedlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14694310570071135870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-2838247156523109202008-11-25T17:42:00.000-05:002008-11-25T17:42:00.000-05:00If is is, then Fred Couples have many more majors ...If is is, then Fred Couples have many more majors then the one!The Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522925304655026603noreply@blogger.com
