Leave it to the USGA to find a message of golf unity in a climate that has many golf fans feeling a little unsettled. Amid a global coronavirus pandemic that has the professional golf world on hold – and the first two USGA championships officially off the competition calendar – the golf body sent a message we can all get behind.
A two-minute video posted to USGA social-media accounts on Friday first acknowledged what we all know: “We are living through an unprecedented time.” With uplifting, chill-inducing music – and with various golf championship scenes as a background – the USGA sung all the praises of golf while also reminding audiences where it falls on the level of importance these days.
“This is a commitment to players, fans, volunteers, everyone. We will work tirelessly to make this game even better,” the overlaid text read.
Finally, a parting thought: “We’re united by our love of the game. And we’re all in this together.”
Truer words were never spoken.
