....about golf course architecture and the state of the game today in his year as the reigning US Open champion?
Has he said enough already or should he use his new found notoriety to say more? I wonder how much more is on his mind on these general subjects, and if there is a lot more on his mind I wonder what it is.
What if he did say a whole lot more and really publicly that is a large departure from the way things generally are today in golf and golf course architecture? How do you suppose that would sit with many of his fellow competitors, or with the world's regulatory bodies of golf? Is he in a position now where it would be difficult for most not to listen to him and take his opinions seriously? I can't imagine a more interesting spokesman than Ogilvy---a new generation golfer who possessed as much of the distance power anyone else these days has. Perhaps even a young golfer who doesn't even remember the way things once were in golf but is nonetheless apparently thoroughly fascinated by it.
What else would you do at this point and in this vein if you were Geoff Ogilvy?
I hope Mike Clayton sees this as his opinion may be the most telling of all. Mike, give all of us on here a Christmas present by seeing if you can get Geoff Ogilvy to register and post on GOLFCLUBATLAS.com.
