81.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Somehow the movie, \u201cAnalyze This\u201d doesn\u2019t fit on The Golf Channel.\u00a0 Have they finally run out of golf re-runs?<\/p>\n
82.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The best story of golf impacting young people can be found at the Glen Mills Golf Course, part of The Glen Mills School in suburban Philadelphia.\u00a0 Young men with troubled pasts maintain the golf course and golf operations while they go to school.\u00a0 It is truly an outstanding golf course and experience, and also a tremendous learning opportunity for the youngsters.<\/p>\n
83.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Champions Tour is the best mulligan not only in sports, but maybe in life as well.\u00a0 The players get wined and dined, other income opportunities, virtually no competition from newcomers, extraordinary attention considering their status as aged performers, and most of all a regular platform on which to continue competing.<\/p>\n
84.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 2016 Olympic Games will benefit golf outside of America, but have little beneficial direct effect in the U.S.<\/p>\n
85.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are far more fantastic golf courses outside the United States than I had ever imagined, and that does not even include the British Isles.<\/p>\n
86.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When you count the contributions of time and facilities, the charitable contributions raised from the PGA of America dwarf that of the PGA TOUR ten-fold or more.<\/p>\n
87.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe the PGA Championship would garner better television ratings if the telecast was not interrupted so often.\u00a0 While the revenue keeps the Association healthy, it makes for the most disjointed telecast in golf.\u00a0 Check me on this next August.\u00a0 It\u2019s absolutely horrible and has been for many years.<\/p>\n
88.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The golf business is one incestuous club and quietly enjoys seeing newcomers fail.\u00a0 (They laughed at Karsten Solheim <Ping>, resented Ely Callaway <Callaway>, Gary Adams had many doors slammed in his face <TaylorMade>, and the off-course retailers were ostracized, but all eventually prevailed.)<\/p>\n
89.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There certainly is an abundance of beautiful and affluent housing surrounding American golf courses.<\/p>\n
90.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Male players aged 26-45 leaving the game in substantial numbers since 2000 are a ticking time bomb for American golf in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
