Let's get one thing straight about professional golf: The tour outside the four major tournaments is a joke.
Professional golf outside the four majors is barely even a sport. It's a game for the rich and elite, the spoiled and the punkish. It's a country club endeavor that can be mastered by anybody with a childhood blessed by luxury. Who couldn't hit a thousand golf balls a day from age five to age 15 and not be good at the game.
Take a good look at the next gallery or field at a pro golf event. And try to find a member of a minority. The ring around the 18th green is a place to show off face-lifts.
There's little risk of injury. The announcers act like the pro game actually means something in the scheme of things. The British announcers act like they invented the game. Oh, they did? That explains why we'd rather play some pool than watch the Greater Sheboygan Open.
But all this isn't to say that some of pro golf shouldn't be watched and enjoyed on TV. Pro golf is comprised of the four majors, period. The rest is for the groupies. And the majors are great entertainment because of the way the pressure causes all the fortunate ones to choke like spoiled brats.
