New Histories Each Week

Posted on May 14, 2012 by mouth

I recently did some reading about the need for India to urbanize over the next four decades. The articles I read had nothing to do with golf, golf courses and/or golf equipment. However, the articles referenced an interesting point about how those who live in India don’t believe one history leads to another. Instead, they believe histories can rise up alongside one another. So, in essence, you have people living in two different time frames right alongside one another.

What the hell does this have to do with golf – well, it’s something I think we’re seeing on the PGA Tour, as of late. There are more reasons to love this game than they are lost Titleists in the world, but one of my favorites is that great talents who are separated in age by decades can compete alongside one another.
