I know that I already put something up here for the night, and it was a damn good rant too, but I'm not done yet. I saw something on the news just now about some golfer down in Georgia who had a problem with a fan. Apparently, the fan said that something while the golfer...*Something* Davis, was taking his place on the tee. The fan was yelling "No love!", and this was before the guy was even going to take his shot! I guess after the fan yelled it a few times, Davis went over to the crowd and demanded that they turn over the person who had dared yell something while he was shooting. No one said who it was for about five minutes until finally just to get the game going, someone pointed out that it was a 15 year old kid yelling it. Davis said that security should remove him from the course for interfering with play, but they said that he really wasn't doing anything wrong. And you know what? They were right. Tiger Woods came out and said that he was worried about the fans watching now, and had a problem with cell phones and cameras going off while he was playing his sport. First of all, he's a cocky s.o.b...he's playing a game and somebody needs to point that out to him. Second of all, god forbid somebody enjoy themselves at a sporting event! He said that the cameras are distracting because you need to concentrate when you're taking your shot, which is the same reason that he doesn't like to have cell phones going off out there. I don't get it...how is it different for golfers to concentrate then for people who play like, a real sport? In baseball, when you're going to do something that's famous, there are THOUSANDS of flashbulbs going off, and you don't have time to stop and think about them. You're going to save a Brett Hull slapshot while you have thousands of people yelling at you to screw up, yet the people who play real sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, or football, don't have a problem with concentration. I'm gonna get reamed out for this one, but golf really isn't even a sport. It's a game that got too cocky and started dubbing itself a sport, which is total bull. The dumbest thing about this would be the fact that someone who is playing baseball, basketball, football, or hockey (the real sports) is facing moving targets when they're playing, and they're doing this with thousands of people yelling at them. Somehow though, golf is so much more intellectual then any of these other sports that they can't have ONE person yelling something while they're trying to hit a STATIONARY OBJECT! I mean, they're supposed to have this zen-like presence, and it's really fuckin' lame if one guy can throw off their game...it's sad, really, but in a funny as hell sort of way. Anyway, I'm outta here.
