if I had never played the game.... (I was an avid golfer for many many years)... would I still like to watch it on TV? I don't know, I really don't.
It's certainly not boring to me now... but if I didn't know the game how would I feel?
Funny thing: As much as I love golf, and as much as I played, I only attended one professional tournament... well, "officially" that is, no need to explain. I played with many pro golfers but only that one tourney. It was the Pro-Am at Pebble so most people were there to see the celebs.... not me and my son-in-law, however... we wanted to see the pro golfers.... SO - bad tournament to attend for that. I think I should make that bucket list item, but no Pro-Am. - JamesJM
