and when you follow something as exciting as the Final Four with golf?\u00a0 Well, you see the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The second problem is that it occurs right at the beginning of the golf season.\u00a0\u00a0We asked this a couple of\u00a0weeks ago &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/what-is-it-about-the-masters.html\">why would the biggest tournament of the year happen right at the beginning\u00a0of the season?<\/a>\u00a0 The timing of the\u00a0sports biggest tournament just doesn&#8217;t make much sense.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>There\u00a0is no championship.\u00a0 <\/strong>We&#8217;ve been down this road several times as well, but it matters!\u00a0 There are four majors, but somehow none of them represents some type of tournament championship.\u00a0 So when there are four &#8220;big&#8221; tournaments, they all end up discounting each other.\u00a0 And if we can&#8217;t even decide which of the four is the most exciting in that particular sport, then how could we even try to compare it to any others?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny, but as much as I enjoy playing golf, I&#8217;m just not all that interested in watching it.\u00a0 Is it possible that it&#8217;s because of the reasons above?\u00a0 Maybe.\u00a0 See, I need to know that the tournaments are going to mean something at the end of the year.\u00a0\u00a0I don&#8217;t care who won the most money.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t care\u00a0what some complicated ranking system\u00a0says.\u00a0 \u00a0I need a championship.\u00a0 Now get me one of those installed at the end of the golf season and then you can start to convince me that it&#8217;s among the most exciting sporting events of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About two weeks ago I was scanning through\u00a0some radio stations and stopped at the sports radio show I tune into once in a while.\u00a0 The hosts are talking about March Madness and how, in they&#8217;re opinion, the NCAA Tournament is the best sporting event going.\u00a0 Meanwhile, they&#8217;re fielding calls\u00a0from listeners agreeing or disagreeing with their [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6932,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1975],"tags":[1261,2125,735,1281,24,678,1121,1074],"class_list":{"0":"post-2050","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-pro-tours","8":"tag-final-four","9":"tag-ncaa-tournament","10":"tag-sports-radio","11":"tag-stanley-cup","12":"tag-super-bowl","13":"tag-the-masters","14":"tag-u-s-open","15":"tag-world-series","16":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>3 Reasons Golf Falls Short Compared to Other Sports &#8226;
