You know I have been using my logical brain more lately, taking in some extra protein for added help and while dwelling on this issue I came to a change in thinking. I think I read a post by ram where he made a claim about all pro sports being fixed and this got my hamster spinning his wheel. Being into golf I used to go to many PGA events as well as the majors (no open yet). As an Augusta area native I have been going to The Masters since 1979, worked the scoreboard at 13 in high school and have even played the National on three occasions. I have played and watched tons of golf is my point........................
So, It dawned on me how stupid I was to think that the 50th Masters event was anything special.....................let's look at the evidence.............
#1
Seve Ballesteros at the time the supposed best player in the world. Now at the time of vid #1 he is leading......watch and think...
To the untrained eye this looks extraordinary I'm sure. However, as a few of you know the same golfer two holes later chunks a mid iron into the water and blows the tournament.
#2
Greg Norman at the time, #2 in the world. Leads after three rounds, on Sunday under apparent pressure makes a what appears to the untrained eye a sloppy double bogey on the 10th. TV coverage returned to Norman on the 15th.....watch and think....
#3
Tom Kite was a world class player and missed short putts on the 14th and 18th......find your own vids....
#4
Jack Nicklaus, the "winner" was 46 and supposedly past his prime. He plays three and a half rounds and can't make a putt.....then all of a sudden can't miss??? Give a break. For those of you that still think something special happened you can live in fantasy land and watch this....
It is obvious that the golf money folks have through the years hired great players to stage these events for their own profit. This was merely payback because Jack Needed new endorsement deals etc. Seve got his 5 majors to placate Spain/Europe, Greg Norman had to play the "almost" player.
