Mental toughness........get he mental toughness to stand in a ring toe to toe against Mike Tyson in his hayday........let alone the physical toughness. 99.99999999998627 % of the people don't rise to that occasion. I'll take the 6' putt mental game over finding the mental toughness to climb into a boxing ring with any great fighter, let alone Tyson.
So let me see if I have this straight. Because it takes coconut-size balls and some serious mental toughness to climb in a ring with Mike Tyson, that negates the metal toughness it takes to stand over a 6' putt, in front of millions of people, with both history and millions of dollars on the line? What's your next argument; I'm rubber you're glue...?
How about we agree that getting into any boxing ring for any level of championship fight against any championship fighter takes both mental toughness and balls. How about we also agree that there are dozens of other examples... None of which negate what it takes to do what the best golfers in the world do.

As far as coverage......ya the signed a deal with NBC and you have the boring Golf channel Out of 139 events for the year, the average viewership was 500,000 people per event. That includes those big event s that brings in 20-21 million, which occur over a 3-4 day period. Take out the majors and he viewership is closer to 107,000 an event for 130+ events.........FSMW broadcasts about 140 Cards games, with an average of nearly 135,000 households per game. Golf doesn't even compete with a Mid Market baseball team's viewership. Granted, it's usually the #2 or #3 market in the country.......but Golf's average without the major events can't even compete with the Cards nightly.
Hell opening night of baseball this year saw 3.7 million viewers for a 3 hour game. The damn golf match runs all damn day........and only gets an average of 6 million viewers on a championship weekend. Golf viewership keeps NBC relevant as it can be. They don't have chit else for "sports" coverage........unless you count the NBA and occasion hockey games. NBC sucks. The Golf channel sucks.
You need to get these stats in the hands of the networks ASAP!!! Clearly they don't know what their doing and could be making so much more money, if only they knew what you know about viewership and what works best for their profitability. They are going to be so grateful that you have enlightened them to the errors of their way , they may just give you some free tickets to one of the Majors next year...
Could one of the people with the keys to this place double check to see if halfasmuch has hijacked Jeff's account. While he goes of the rails sometimes, he usually doesn't tee is up like this for us (pun intended).
