Good News Anyone?

Well, it’s Masters Thursday. A great day in the world of golfers everywhere. A lot of questions will be answered; can Tiger win a grand slam, will a dark horse arise? Well the latter came true today. Ian Poulter is leading the Masters. How many of us know who Ian Poulter is and if you do why? I am assuming you know of him because of this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcsgVOHlh_A. I am I right? Well once again on Sports Center tonight the story isn’t about him leading the Masters, it’s about his comments towards Tiger Woods. I see two problems here. First, when was the last time we heard a golf story that didn’t involve Tiger Woods? Don’t get me wrong, I like Tiger probably more then the next guy, but is golf putting too much of an emphasis on just him? I think so. If you look at the television ratings when Tiger is in the tournament and when he is not it’s night and day. What happens when golf no longer has Tiger to lean on? I see big trouble? Second, it’s really too bad that Ian Poulter has worked so hard to do something that very few people have done and all we can talk about is his mishaps (Which according to him aren’t true.) I think the media needs to start looking at the successes of sports and less on the daytime drama.
