There is less than a year to go for golf’s reintroduction to the Olympics and it is interesting to observe the varied reaction from many in the golfing world.
By nature we often are reluctant to initially embrace new horizons. Many don’t like the change to traditional dates in the golfing calendar for 2016 caused by the Olympics. It is easy to dismiss golf as an Olympic sport and at the same time belittle the value of winning a gold medal compared to winning a major. To do so leaves one open to stand accused of being insular in a sport that is often seen this way.
