Season going on too long

by mr_aleman (U1652427) 15 November 2008
comment on the article

Well the new season has just started but I have to say this is the least interesting time of the year for watching golf. It does seem a bit over the top for the players to be starting the season having just finished the previous Order of Merit. I think they should not start the official Race to Dubai until January. We shall see what happens but I feel some of the players shall get burn-out and lose form.

I think this is the best time to watch golf, the reason being, you come of the course cold, wet and have 14 layers of clothes on, its nice to watch people play golf in tee shirts.

I think the tour is to long, but I am not sure what the answere is, the Asian tour is now in full swing with the Aussie opens due to be played soon as well.

Our good players pace themselves, and any money they pick just now is xmass spending money.

Well Aleman, I think you hit the nail on the head there. It's always easier to be into Golf when the season is in full swing (pardon the pun), I certainly feel more into it when the majors have yet to be decided and I a playing regularly. I think next year te European tour is going to go Calender, so there should be a little less confusion there. BTW I suspect your psudenom is Mr Ale-man, but translates from Spanish to English as "Mr German". You may have chosen this name on purpose as a tip of the cap to Michael Ballack, lol...

Last week in Singapore showed why the Order of Merit/Race to Dubai is year round. The top golfers are playing all year round, if there isn't a European or PGA event they go Asian tour or Japan tour, anywhere will do. The big two tours might as well cash in and have as many tournaments as possible.
