Well, if you're on the West Coast. The HSBC Champions from Shanghai,
China, will be carried beginning at 8PM PST tonight on the Golf
Channel.

It's all about the $$$$$ with El Tigre. As though the first $300 million
wasn't enough.

Fine with me. There's more golf per hour in the Euro coverage, and I
don't have to choose between football and golf; I just have to choose
between some stupid sitcom and golf. The field isn't bad, either ---
they have Furyk, DiMarco, Howell, Monty, Goosen, Donald, etc. But the
smart money is on Jyoti Randhawa.

You know those people you see on your TV at the golf tournaments who
aren't actually playing, but watching the play? Those are spectators.
They exist. They pay their money in advance to go see the play live,
and when Tiger, or other big names balk, they get pissed. Such was my
case, and thousand of others. I suspect if you were in the same boat,
you'd have some choice words if your idol bagged it then played a
random Euro event the next week.
Instead we got a heaping helping of:

You know those people you see on your TV at football games, who go
without shirts in Green Bay in December, paint themselves yellow and
green, wear a huge block of cheese on their heads, and hold up a
picket fence for half the game? They're smarter than the people
you're talking about, because at least they get a good view of all the
players for the entire game, instead of one or two glimpses of Tiger
over four days.

If I were in the same boat, I'd shoot myself. As for Tiger being my
idol, I'm not the one who has been bitching and pouting for a week
because he didn't show up. I'm the one who criticized him for not
playing the damn Disney, let alone the TC. Not because it hurt my
widdle feelings, but because of the implied disrespect to the game.
Apparently we both think that Tiger's sole function is to entertain
us. Where we differ is how bitter and angry you get when he doesn't,
while I just watch something else.

I guess my point was that some people actually go to events and play
the game rather than watching on TV
and bashing stats on Usenet. That's all I was saying...
