Let's face it, sport dominates golf course conversations. Sure, it is boring, often predictable, but its safe, its friendly and comfortable, like a warm and worn jumper.
Karl Marx described religion as the opium of the masses, I think to suggest it is used by oppressors to make people feel better about the distress they experience due to being poor and exploited. A bit like Rupert Murdoch and the Fox empire perhaps? Keep 'em stupid and unaware, lest they ask too many pesky questions, like, "What the hell are we doing in
So in the spirit of keeping us dumbed down, I propose to broaden the scope of this blog to include general sporting things. Photos are good. Please scan and post to the blog, or send by email any sporting pic of interest. Doc hooking his driver into the sea at Ballybunion, Shirls in the toot with Shark at the R&A, a football match, a day in the sun at the cricket, anything which has or would be discussed on the golf course.
Why blog it? 1. Its online and archived - these are nice things to reflect on and have a look at for years to come. It also saves that tiresome question 'Who has the photo of ..." 2. No email blocks sending these around, esp through government firewalls. 3. its simple.
