Golf Olympics?
should there be golf in the olympics?
Personally, I don’t think that golf should be in the Olympics.
The original (modern) Olympics in 1896 had only 9 sports; athletics, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, weightlifting, shooting, swimming, tennis, and wrestling.
Some of the sports that are now included are, to me, a bit ridiculous; beach volleyball, baseball, softball, etc.
Cricket and rugby union were included but are no longer but there is talk of bringing them back – I hope not, even though I am a rugby fan.
For the 2012 London Olympics, there will be 26 sports; I used to enjoy watching the Olympics with the traditional sports like track and field, weightlifting, shooting, and swimming, but nowadays things are getting out of hand with sports like beach volleyball!
So, no I wouldn’t like to see golf included; the PGA Tour events provide enough excitement and entertainment as it is.
