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.

    Must completely agree Tom.

    It’s decisions like this which makes masks —which are helpful —seem more political than anything.

    These athletes spent the whole week maskless only to wear a mask for the anthems when they are 6 feet apart from just two other people on the podium.

    Having the athletes placing medals around their own necks also deserves some dogging’.

    # Too much.
