    This definitely is not for the fans.

    As much as I want these guys to resume, if every minor league everything restarts ASAP we will never solve this problem.

    It’s not popular but they should cancel the Korn Ferry much longer than June, probably for the year.

    A Japanese scientist Is quoted on ESPN today saying the Olympics in the summer of 2021 will still be too risky. The Olympics are the greatest athletes in the world, while the Korn Ferry are not even the top tier of their sport, more like the third of fourth tier really.

    I watch minor league golf here and there but I’m not sure I prefer it over GC reruns of top tier guys doing top tier things.

    The fact the Korn ferry gets no fans is the reason to wait longer. No one cares. But many people do care about non essential business increasing risks.

    Mr Monahans has already made some questionable decisions, mainly trying to continue the Players.

    Tim Finchem is in the Hall now, a result of aggressive work to get golf to where it is.

    Ironically the current Commish needs to do the opposite: get less aggressive; More patient on resuming; especially minor league golf.

    As difficult as not resuming is for any commissioner (or leader), it is what is separating the good ones from the bad ones these days.

    Unfortunately by continuing to be too aggressive in returning, golfs commissioner is adding fuel to the belief golf is out of touch.

    No golf fans want that.

      I believe by mid-May, the landscape of everything will change with more things open that we can assume at this moment; More fair to wait and see.

        I understand tom and I’m hopeful too.
        But I still wish everyone was more patient.

        All you hear in sports is how soon can we get back.
        Why not make sure it’s safe before planning restarts; Instead of only focusing on restarting?

        The issue is this issue is a marathon of marathons in a time of 3 second, goldfish like attention spans.

        Imo We need to stay focused on beating this thing but sadly most leaders today cannot…unless Of course they have insurance; then they are mighty quick to cancel, aka the Open.

          They’re already talking about opening retail; South Carolina will open the entire state on May 1……Wal-Mart is open under the guise of its food component but also has HUGE retail component, which gives it unfair advantage over other retail stores that have been forced to close…..just an example.

            2 wrongs don’t make a right.
