Farcical Skins?
Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at 11:19 AM Peter Thomson introduces the Australian Open for The Age, sharing tournament lore and the architecturally beleaguered history of the host site.
He also isn’t too excited about the Skins Game being played the same week as the Australian Open and slams the American Thanksgiving golfing tradition as if it had made an unusual decision to select these dates for play (uh 21 years and running now on Thanksgiving weekend). Thomson chooses not to criticize Australian Adam Scott for opting to play at the picturesque Trilogy Golf Club active adult community instead of his home nation’s biggest event.
In the future, Scott shouldn't have to worry about the decision. As a now-former IMG client who dared to quit the agency, this is likely his first and last Skins appearance, barring a victory.
*** Note that Thomson wasn't upset about the Grand Slam of Golf being booked this week. Perhaps because like me, he forgot about it!
