That's why golf is so great!

So as many of you know and follow the PGA you probably saw Tom Watson lose the British Open. It was unfortunate because how could you NOT route for him. I mean he was the quintessential underdog and he came up one putt short of winning an incredible 6 British Opens. With Greg Norman coming up short last year and now Watson so close to winning one, at their ages, it seems like just a matter of time before one of the old-schoolers breaks through and win one! It's exciting to see that these guys still have flashes of brilliance when it comes to competing with the new generation of golfers. These days it's all about the long ball and having flashy clothes and basically being a celebrity. Don't get me wrong. I love Tiger and what he's done for the game. He's opened so many doors for the game of golf. Not just on the pro level but mainly for the amateur golfer. How many people are playing this great game today because of Tiger alone? But I digress! The point is Tom Watson and Greg Norman have rekindled a fire under the old school guys and it's a breath of fresh air. I like the fact that they aren't being forgotten and they are still making a name for themselves so that the younger generation of golfers will know that Tiger shouldn't be the only one they can look up to. Maybe if we're lucky we'll see more of the same in the coming majors. How great would it be to see Fred Funk or Tom Kite win a major at their age? As long as you have the fire, the passion, and the health you can play this game until you're 100 which is why golf is so great!
