Money List Winner
Just to clarify, my OP was questioning why the subject was not mentioned or commented on in the mag. Not if it is right or wrong, not the merits or not of it. I just that I found it strange that the subject that does influence the image of the game in a time of falling participation and membership and that dominated the build up to the event was not deemed to be about golf.
But Mike has answered and of course others have backed him up. I was not wanting to debate the rights and wrongs about it again. But was genuinely interested in what GM thought about it. If they would have said, as many on here seem to think, they thought it was a load of rubbish and did not harm the game in any way then that would have been fine.
The fact it didn't feature in the magazine should surely of given you in idea what they thought about it?
