The Spirit of the Game

[Anthony Gray]

   John......We both could play at Harbor Town tomorrow. I do not require it of Tiger, but it would be nice to see him design some public access courses one day......possibly for The Spirit of the Game.


 

[John Foley]

Anthony - agreed.

My only point is he should not be judged on that today.

John....the young do have less of an appreciation of the game, perhaps because they know less about the history of the game.

For the youth of today you will find much more "spirit" as defined by Huck on a basketball court, MMA pay-per-view or at the poker table because at these events they are allowed to be themselves as opposed to being a reflection of some forgotten moment in history. 

John,

Mores the pity.

To me the spirit of golf begins long before I even get to the course.

 I look around at all the things I've collected...scorecards  (good and bad)...golf balls with scores written on them from tournaments years ago.

Pictures of foursomes.. all laughing..shots of my sons at 9 and 19...

  Michael,

  Well done....May the spirit of the game always reside in the souls of your sons forever.

... but you do not see it publically as in the case of Garnett and Russell.

Oh my ... why does it have to be public?   

The whole Garnett/Russell "thing" smelled like a photo op / press release, artificially manufactured by the Celtics front office ... it might have been more believable if it happened at the beginning of the season not when they were just weeks away from winning the title.

Time.*

Time.

The spirit of game includes a respect for, an appreciation of, and a relationship with Time - its nature and its qualities, as That which gives us the Past but also offers us This Very Moment (time enough for a thousand decisions and indecisions...)

for CELTIC fans only ...

I'm pretty sure the fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves did not see it that way ...
