I'm waiting for the XBox Tiger Woods Golf Pro Tour myself.

I always thought that golf was a strange game.

I have always LOVED to watch and play golf. I don't play anymore, though. And I don't watch a whole lot of it anymore either and I'll tell you why. It's for the very reason that you're talking about. Ok, Tiger Woods is good, a true prodigy, but he doesn't have half the grace, elegance or competitiveness of say, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Sam Sneed, ChiChi of the golfing legends. It does not matter what the man is doing in a tournament, he can be 9 strokes behind the leader and he is the only one the announcers talk and review. It irritates the daylights out of me! And he shows poor sportsmanship when he misses. I can't stand the anger and bubbling furor he displays at those moments. But the worse is when they completely ignore the leader to focus on Tiger. Have you noticed that? When did the game become the player? It's always supposed to have been about the precise moment in time. When club meets ball and the ball sails flawlessly across yards and yards of manicured heaven, arcing to a graceful lilt and dribbling to a stop in perfect lie and THEN the player that put it there.

Amen! Michelle Wie drives me nuts. If she was a few strokes off at every tournament (sponsor invite, hmmmph!) I could understand her continued efforts to play with men, but she's always way off the pace. (Or can't take the heat and humidity.....) Once she starts beating up on the ladies, to the point that playing them isn't competitive for her anymore, THAN she should play against the men.

I'm the biggest fan of girlpower!, but this isn't a display of such, and I don't have any desire to watch a novelty. I want to watch the game.

Don't even get me started on how my son's hockey team has to play the girls' teams by THEIR no checking rules........even though he's got two girls on his "boys" team who have no problem checking and getting checked during their regular games........
