An older book I’ve studied on and off over the years is a tome named. “The New Golf Mind.” Very early in the book we’re asked why we watch sports; what exactly is our vested interest?; will the outcome of the game have any effect on our life?; why do we get so very excited and then so very disappointed?
It’s all just because we all want to see the players BRING IT! We can hardly wait for that GREAT MOMENT!
And man…what a great moment I saw!
I’m not sure what tournament I was watching yesterday (Saturday) – I think it was the WGC at Doral – or it might have been the Puerto Rico Open. Apologies for not knowing. I almost always turn off the sound and just watch the players play.
Golf was on and that’s all I really know. The other thing I know is that I saw two (2) HIO’s within 30 minutes. Not only were they on the same hole, the landing area of each ball and the ensuing hole-out were virtually identical! Now that’s freaky and a great moment!
No wonder we simply watch…….. and wait.
Interesting post, might have to pick up that book for future reading.
