Steph Curry Takes A Dive Into Golf's Deep Water - Dog Leg News

About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    Interesting post. My experience and expertise on the Web.com guys is limited, but from what I’ve seen, over the course of a single given tournament you could put one of them in a group of PGA tour pros, and most folks wouldn’t know the difference. Similarly, you could take most PGA pros and put them in a Web tournament, and over the course of one event, they might blend right in.

    I think he’s going to be in tough territory, If Dustin Johnson had been a good college basketball player and you put him in the whirlwind of an four game NBA set, he might find the going challenging to say the least.

    I like the idea of this, though, particularly if the players support it. It adds interest and star power. I’m sure they will be respectful and nice to him, but I also think they will be only too happy to show him how high the level they play is.

    Best of luck to him, he seems like a great guy. I plan to try to check it out if possible.

      RM: Your last sentence shows why it’s a win for the event, folks who pay no attention to the Web.com guys, that’s most of us, will look and see how Steph did. Most of the Web.com players were happy about him being there, anything that brings more eyeballs to their event is a good thing……Jerry Rice tried to play in one of these and did not do well at all but he is not the golfer Curry is. Stay tuned!!
