There are still a few people out there, I assume, who would like to see
Greg Norman playing golf every once in a while. I understand that he
has moved beyond that to support his various businesses, but that
doesn't excuse last-minute cancellations when he commits to a
tournament.
JUPITER, Fla. -- A late adjustment in Greg Norman's schedule
unfortunately means he will not be able to participate in the JELD-WEN
Tradition.
To me, this kind of announcement is pure rudeness.

greg is probably in a catch-22 situation, he wants badly to play but
golf is not his no.1 priority.
how could a guy concentrate on golf when he is preoccupied with other
things?
maybe one day he will just throw in the towel for good, and that will
stop any speculation.

Who wants to see him anyway? Unlike most of the other tour pros, he
doesn't even attemt to hide his primadonna aloof attitude toward the
fans he made his money from.

I met him once, at Riverside Oaks outside Sydney just before a
tournament. It might have been the Australian PGA, not sure if it even
exists anymore. Of all things I was building the scoreboard behind the
first tee (and making a mess of it because we were running out of time
the day before an event). He came up to play a practice round the day
before the tournament and had a chat with us, signed a few things, he
looks aloof, he's got one of those faces I think, but he's certainly
not a prima donna. Was a friendly dude.
During the tournament I remember he drove a par 4 across water and
eagled it, shot low 60s and won the event by a mile.

I agree with you and I'm not a big fan of the Shark as well. Probably one of
the most OVERATED players in the history of golf.
