The topic of too much money in golf certainly got the response that I imagined that it would.
Surprisingly, many readers agreed with me that it was all out of proportion (especially in the US).
There were those who said that if you take away caddie fees together with travel and accommodation costs the enormous sums are justified.
One flustered reader said that we should not forget about the tax that will be taken from the prize money.
The fact remains that there's a lot of money out there. For example, Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat has won in seven years around €7 million (approximately 271 million baht).
Basically, every week on the PGA Tour, there's around US$1 million (33 million baht) up for grabs for the winner and recently Branden Grace won over a €1 million in South Africa.
In that particular tournament four 72s would have made you €62,000 which brings me to ask another taboo question -- are some of the older players just going through the motions week by week, producing average scores until they reach 50 where they then can knock it around on the Senior Tour?
Out of Bounds: 'I am' is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language then could it be that 'I do' is the longest sentence?
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
No one ever says "it's only a game" when their winning.
