I went to my first Championship In ’85, though at that time everyone called TPC. The course was also called TPC. It was a kind of confusing, like the two ways the players use the word hole (Holes we play but also cups). I have seen all the tournaments since ’85, most personally, the rest on TV, and this is back in the second year, in 1975, when Al Geiberger won.
Later, I became for Al, AKA Skippy. Profit TPC was a great job for him. He took him a 10-year exception in all types of shifts. He sent me to memorialThinking he was inside because of the 10-year-old things, but she had expired until then. The tournament people kindly took me a job by running a vessel van for the week. In the players, I worked as a discoverer for CBS in ’85. Calvin pete Won with Adolphus Hull in his bag. If you knew the hull well, you called that Ball and if you didn’t call that golf ball. Everyone is a kind of connected now, players here, Kadies here, writers here, agents here, tour costumes here, blah-bllah-bllah. It wasn’t so then. Everyone was mixing it. I was lucky enough to catch a little of it. She formed the rest of my life.
This year I will watch the tour on TV. Overall, I would say it’s a good but fascinated tournament in a good but delightful course. The green height fee of the season, $ 750, is evidence that golf is crazy. Despite all, and in its own way, players are one of the magnificent golf events. In the top-10, for sure. I would also place the open American elderly and British elderly open to Top-10, too. I will say here: I think Rory will find yourself playing both Before I turn 60. Let’s see what brings the next century.
While the masters have her annual Wednesday is not -se-cute The PAR-3 tour, players have its tour with a hole on Wednesday PAR-3, in which the cades receive a pace in the 17th hole of the stadium course. You get a crystal bowl if you make an ace on the PAR-3 tour in Augusta. Jj Jakovac, Caddy i Collin Morikawa, Won this year’s Caddy competition at 17 with an ACE. His victory took him a carved clip, $ 27,000 and a story he will tell about the rest of his life. The wedge point, 132 yard. He got the game.
Now, you can say: would it be good if the players had more things? The survey says yes. The innovations for inheritance shifts are not easy to achieve, but here are some quick suggestions.
1. Invite Livi’s top players on the basis of salary to play
What…? Invite players from Renegade Breakaway League in the king of all PGA Tour events?
Yes! Create an acceptance requirement with which every Liv player who has won an individual Liv title last year or a big one within the last five years can play on players – whether Said the player writes a personal check For $ 500,000 made for a player’s choice charity, plus 10k for Caddy Par-3 competition. No Venmo – we have to see the check!
2. Have a pro-am but not in the traditional sense
In an effort to see more like masters, US and British open and the PGA championship, players do not have a pro-am. But it should be! Because if there is a tour that has to show that he understands his constituency, the players are.
It does NO You have to be a traditional pro-am all day. For example, AMS, for a relatively modest sum – not even $ 750! – You can sign up to play 16, 17 and 18 with a player in late field on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Others would go to the practice of practice for a verse session with a player somewhere early on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. Others would have lunch with a player either Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. There is no need to be a whole daily slogan. It should provide an environment by which players can remember who makes their lives possible. Masters, you may know, have had a long car competition. Okay okay, try different things. More than OK.
3. More creative betting opportunities
For example, everyone knows that Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour Commissioner, loves the word hear. But how many times can he use it at a single conference for Marty-Mary Press? The betting window is open! Fanduel weighs the mood and the moment and sets a number. Let’s say 10 – 10 hearing at a press conference. Sounds like a lot, right? Well, if that is the number, take over! This year, Monahan used hear As a command 20 times, and 21 times everyone inside! A tour record is likely.
(Example: “Listen, you return to where we were in January last year, January 4, in particular, to be able to announce the investment SSG was making in PGA Tour Enterprises, but most importantly to be able to bring that level of experience and expertise aboard, both within sport and beyond, was a big step for us.”
4. Expand the transmission reporter team in the country
I would suggest bringing children working in their high school and high school newspapers to enliven interviews. Short and direct questions often reveal players in basic and interesting ways. You can see the kids asking questions like, “just made $ 4 million. What are you going I DO With it? “Or,” When were you more nervous? “Or,” Do you regret the boy who ended the second? “Or,” Do you any The idea how hard is it to be a golf fan? No, really: do you know how much effort it should be? “
