Too much golf?

I noticed a very interesting article written by Chris Henry on his blog site EagleParBirdie. He highlights a potential issue within golf that no other regular golf news site would.

He suggests that now, due to the golfing season never ending (running from Jan 3 to Dec 31), we are seeing fewer of the top ranked players in tour tournaments; they are 'cherry picking' the events they play in.

This means that rather than watch the likes of Woods, Mickelson, Garcia, et al fight it out for titles week in week out we are simply seeing one or two of the world's best immersed in a sea of average players desperately searching for their first win.

Henry comments that "golf fans will have to be as selective in the tournaments they watch as the players are in selecting the tournaments they compete in."

This article shows that these more personal blogs address issues that may be 'off the radar' to the mainstream golf websites. The suggestion is that the golfing season may be too long, which is certainly a matter your average skysports or espn would not tackle.
