Gimmicky Hole Still Just As Gimmicky as the Tiger Diagnosed It

It’s that time of the year again, the time where you might actually watch a golf tournament that is not a major.

I know, I know, you’ll watch when Tiger is in contention. And you’ll root for Tiger, or against him, or both, it does not matter. But in your eyes, if Tiger has a chance to win, the tournament is basically a major.

Yet every May, right after you decide to watch horse racing for the only time that year, you’ll tune into a non-major golf tournament even if Tiger is not in contention because you want to see people suffer.

You sick, sick individual.

Horse Racing needs to embrace criticism

by Burton DeWitt – special to CBSSports.com.

Don’t kid yourself; you don’t care about horse racing. At the very least, you don’t care about it 362 days a year.

You might, might, watch the Kentucky Derby. Fine.

If you don’t have plans, heck, you might, might, even watch the Preakness.

And if, but only if, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners are the same, you’ll watch the Belmont Stakes. You’ll cheer for that horse, hoping he’ll win the Triple Crown.

Then, then, then what? When he loses? You’ll just forget his name.
