Vijay Singh went up in my estimation for making an appearance here with the back trouble last week. Not that this isn't a good one for him to be in with so many fellow countrymen in Canada.

Jesper Parnevik is here too. Mojo 730 or one of them played a tape of him talking about his game yesterday and how he returned to Sweden for a few months to with his family, etc. If it not set up as it was and they stopped it before he went on to hitting the ball better, etc. you would have sworn it was Markus Naslund in both sound of voice and phrasings.

It has also been pointed out that the LPGA has rules regarding attendance like you have to go to all courses on their tour 1 out of 3 or so years. NASCAR has a points system and possibly a requirement to be in all races that makes them turn up. Maybe golf needs rules like this.

It is pretty pricey but I guess as they want to keep the crowd size lower, they want to max their revenues on fewer people. This is like hockey, you get the corporate ticket crowd not the average guy so much unless he is a golf fanatic or wants to the a##hole shouting "in the hole" on the 18th green something that is so stupid but is heard at every golf tournament.
