“If #1 played alone…”

December 12, 2006 by The Lefty.

I do think people would watch #1 play by himself, as we have seen by his show where he hit different golf shots and talks about the game through his eyes. I also find this to be more interesting to watch in a lot of cases than to watch the rest of the field try to do what he does, and hope to beat him…I love the game of golf! and Tiger has made the game “cool” (ie:  it’s now cool to be a golfer in school, unlike when I was in school!).  If people want to blame the media for making this a one man game to watch maybe they should blame the rest of the field for not bringing the same heart and intensity as he does.  As far as what will be left after he is gone, other than all new records, and millions of new fans, and a new game for a new age…it will still be one man, hitting one ball, with one club …one shot at a time!  The way this game was started before there were any greats.  As I said, “I love this game.”   I can only thank Tiger, and the media for bringing the game back to the forefront where it belongs, however, it is making the people tune in. The enthusiast, and all of our new era of after Tiger golfers, and all of our purist, all have one thing in common…our love for the game no matter how different we think we are!
