Local Golf Pro Complains about Columbus Golfers

I was reading an article on Steve Groves, the PGA Pro at Champions Golf Course. In the article, he’s quoted as saying: “My dad’s generation awakened in the morning and if the weather was bad, it didn’t matter. They went out and played,” said Groves. “This generation isn’t there, but we are seeing new people in the game. Our focus is to keep the current generation as excited about being in golf.”

Hey, but just one sentence later, he says, “Our season here is from mid-March through mid-November.” I assume he’s referring to Champions Golf Course.

When Champions is open year round, let me know. Until then don’t complain about this generation of golfers being soft. I was out every month except February. I’m glad I didn’t stop by Champions in January.

Tee to Green Review on 1460thefan

I listened to Tee to Green on 1460thefan.com. Hot topics were – 1) What is the longest iron in your bag; 2) Was the Masters boring; 3) What color shirt do you refuse to wear on the golf course; and 4) NFL draft comments.

The show moved pretty slow until they started fielding listeners’ questions. One listener (Walt, I believe) dared to say that Tiger Woods is turning people off to golf because people are getting tired of seeing him win. One of the hosts went so far as to partly agree with him.

The hosts also asked the listeners what position Scott McCarron would play if he were drafted in the NFL draft. I guess things were a bit slow on tee to green.

No mention of The Big Break Ka’anapali. C’mon, that’s got to be one of the hotter topics in golf.

Interesting fact: Why do people have trouble hitting longer irons? The less loft a club has the more sidespin the club will impart on the ball.

My answers to their hot questions:

1) What is the longest iron in your bag – 3 iron
2) Was the Masters boring – hell yes
3) What color shirt do you refuse to wear on the golf course – fuschia
and 4) NFL draft comments – Jake Long rocks.
