In the Rough

With the Beijing Olympics fast approaching the debate has serviced yet again of whether Golf should become an Olympic Sport.

Golf has become one of the biggest sports on the planet and with the masses of people that follow golf and the large audiences it now attracts Golf would probably deserve Olympic status just on them facts alone, but is the debate that simple?

Golf would be a success at any Olympic Games but it breaks down to how it is formatted. Does it become a matchplay competition or a team competition? How many players can each country bring? Are the courses good enough in the future host cities to warrant a good competition?

All these questions would need answering before it can be settled, personally though I am for fully behind golf being an Olympic Sport.

The biggest question of all though is do we really need to have another sport where America will be guaranteed gold and Tiger Woods will win yet another medal for his trophy collection?
