You obviously don't know jack squat about golf.

I know more about golf than you've been around on this planet Jack.

How is that a farce?

Because golf was only officionaly recognized by the IOC in 2016.

And I stated previously, It's a farce because the Olympics were for amateurs, and still feature amateurs in the nondescript sports that don't feature multi-millionaire athletes.

The true meaning of amateur Olympics came to an end when the USA allowed 12 members of the NBA to represent the USA in basketball.....

Like I stated previously, change the olympics to the "World Professional Athletics Championships"......

LOL- you’re serious???

What about the previous 40 years to 1992 when the eastern block countries were putting professional athletes into the Olympic Games, camouflaging them as “soldiers” in the army when their sole job was to win medals at the Olympics??

I've been playing golf since the 60's, and when I was younger I was an 8 handicap and after I retired I played 18-36 holes a day, so if you know more than me that's OK with me.

When I was an 8, I'd play any one with a real handicap, $ 100 match play, with the ability to double after any and all holes.

I've won and lost thousands in a single match, so tell me how much you "know more" than I do.

You talk a lot, but I've been on the planet for 83 years, and today I can barely hit a drive over 200 yards but I still play with guys in my orbit, but I'm past playing for any big bucks.
