"Golf was initially a game of elitists and has done very little to change that image......"

So true. The NFL, MLB and the pinnacle of virtue and character, the NBA are all setting the example for golf to follow. If only the PGA could be more like the other sports populated with wife beaters, drug pushers and users, dead-beat dads and otherwise unsavory characters. Man, they'd really have something then. /s

I suppose this year when Tiger finally gets out of hibernation, he'll inevitibaly throw a golf club.

Some one is going to shout something like, "Elin never threw her 9-iron and look how she scored".

How he reacts to that ball-busting will be a new measure of the man.

ROFLMAO!!!! Nice try ODH, there's no way you can compare the direction golf needs to go in order to survive to what has happened to the other sports. Give me a break!

Golf will continue to be played by honest individuals but unless you and its fellow elitists allow the players to start acting naturally and allow fan excitement, it will remain relegated to the excitement category of curling.............
