A weathered sage once said that everything can be distilled into two categories: good for ball or bad for ball.
There are few gray areas, except for those things that can be categorized in both. But that’s life, isn’t it?
So it stands to reason the measuring stick can be applied to golf.
Seeing the shelf empty which last held the limited brew English Porter is bad for golf. Watching the clerk emerge from the backroom with the remaining six-pack is good for golf.
Pulling up in front of your house to see your three-year-old daughter playing with your vintage Jimi Hendrix vinyl, bad. Seeing her smile and making you forget why you were mad, good.
That’s how it works, everything is good for golf, or bad for golf. Here goes:
Bad for golf: Groovegate – The PGA Tour let themselves get played by this and now they’ve got players calling out their professional brethren as cheaters. For the moment, Tiger Woods is not part of the discussion.
