With All The Money Involved In Golf…

June 28, 2013 | By Pete Girotto | Leave a Comment

Where did golf get all this money?
Where did golf get all this money?

How do I get some? It’s no secret that golf isn’t the cheapest game to play. It’s also no secret the stereotypical golfer is an affluent male with a wardrobe worthy of Judge Smails’ approval. The game reeks of money. Between financial institutions and non-sport related sponsors of every tournament to the same sponsors on a player’s shirt, hat or visor – it’s a cash game, literally.

Could you imagine if pro athletes in other sports had these companies sponsoring them on their clothes? What would happen with the sneaker industry? I could see it getting a bit confusing.

Friend 1: “Hey did you see the new Air Barclay’s?”

Friend 2: “No! Charles Barkley has a new shoe?”

Friend 1: “No…Barclay’s the bank.”

Friend 2: “Wait…Charles Barkley has a bank?!?!”

Friend 1: “Forget it…”

See what I mean? I can only imagine what the Hooter’s cross trainers look like. Hmmmm…maybe I’m on to something here. This could be my entry point into the golf biz. Or I could just gamble on a couple tourneys. The problem is that I don’t know much about golf betting but, I’m sure there’s all sorts of tips from betfair.

Well, for now I think I’ll just hit the local track and let my entrepreneurial juices marinate the master plan. It sure would help if I had a master plan though…oh well.

Hit’em long…Yell FORE!!!
