I scammed this off a golf site, thought it was quite amusing...
1. The Tavistock Cup in its current format does nothing to promote the game of golf. Quite the opposite, it puts people off. The event is more like Horse Polo or a Regatta than a golf tournament.
2. Being among the elite is one thing, but flaunting it on TV, while the world burns is a whole different thing.
poulter helicopter 3. The best defence of those involved is that the event raises millions for charity each year. Yet there is absolutely no mention of charity anywhere on the homepage of the Tavistock Cup website. There is however a very very expensive watch! Don’t you think charity might start by saving $5,000 a time by cutting out the luxury helicopters that pointlessly drop players back down the road. We had that in Ireland once, it was called The Galway Races.
4. Isn’t it more likely that the event raises more for the property developers in the participating clubs and gated communities and those sellin2 pairs of shoesg the toys that the mega loaded surround themselves with? Outrageous product placement of super cars like the red Audi parked in the middle of the fairway that David Feherty spent five minutes trying to start kind of proves my point.
5. Watching ultra rich players and their invited spectators from gated communities snort and guffaw over prawn sandwiches doesn’t exactly warm people’s hearts as they struggle to pay the mortgage and healthcare.
