Achenbach: Crying Game

Golfweek’s Jim Achenbach writes that “an intense rivalry is developing between the PGA and the USGA, which use several of the same courses for their championships, and one-upmanship has become a preferred tactic.

“If major championship golf is based more on corporate interests than fan interests, I say we’ve got a problem. In an era of big business, golf has become much more than golf. It has become a juggernaut of an economic entity. I cry for the romance of the game.”

Uh Jim, surely you didn’t just notice this “problem?” If you really want to cry for the game, perhaps it's time to hold the USGA to a little higher standard too.
