I hate the Daily Mail but i do try to read if poss the Golf column in Tuesdays edition by Derek Lawrenson.
Always some good Tit-Bits and Golf discussion.
Today he is bemoaning the lack of a full pro tour event in England, outside the PGA at Wentworth and The Open Championship at RSG. He is quoating Paul Casey in the main.
He makes a good point. I firmly believe that one of the reasons we have so many good English golfers is that Ten, Fifteen,twenty years ago we had a good handfull of pro events, most covered by the BBC and infused an interest in golf.
I look at myself from about 1985 onwards. I would not have been exposed to golf and got an interest if the coverage had not been available and i had pro events like the European Open at Walton Heath and the World Matchplay at Wentworth for me to go to.
And this is not anti SKY, far from it but there is more golf on the TV now than ever before, but only those that are interested watch.
I think we are storeing up trouble as we need golf exposed and it is not getting that.
This needs looking at....Fast. What do you all think??
