If anyone thought golf was dull Tiger Woods has managed to prove them wrong. Not only did he rewrite the way to play but he also managed to set new benchmarks on how to play away! Of course the void he has left is being filled by wonderful talent who are climbing the greasy pole to stardom and winning.
For the first time, in a long time, Britain has three players in the World’s top 6 and we have seen Ian Poulter, the quietly dressed introvert, win the WGC Accenture Match Play in Arizona. Even better – the other finalist was Paul Casey, his fellow Briton.
Now all of this leads to the prospect of a very exciting Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor in September. As an aside, those attending RESI will be the last guests at Celtic Manor before the Ryder Cup so with any luck we can hide under a bed and sneak in for free!
Seriously, the tournaments between now and then will be scrutinised, analysed and interrogated for signs, hints and trends on the European and the American teams. No doubt the billion dollar question will be whether Tiger resumes his career this year and will be in the USA team. Not that he has made a great impact on previous appearances.
For the average hacker, we will suffice our time by playing on the best courses we can with friends and business acquaintances… imagining if only we could make the ball dance at our command. Of course one of the delights we have is experiencing somewhere like San Lorenzo in June, regardless of talent, easing our conscience by raising money for Sparks.
