Golf starts today with men. 72 holes in four days. Women's starts Wednesday, August 17th.
The four world's best ranked men won’t participate. Some of them(all?) blaming the zika virus. Their hard competition schedule could also be a factor The only one I know who said straight out that golf doesn’t belong at olympics is Adam Scott(AUS). I will miss McIlroy(GB, Northern Ireland). Also disappointed that Phil Mickelson(US) won’t play, though I think that’s due to low ranking.
Hope Stenson(SWE) wins this, going into the competition with a good feeling after winning British Open :thumbsup:
Funny enough the women aren’t afraid of the zika virus. No drop outs that I know of. Haven’t seen women’s golf for years. Not out of interest, but because of lacking opportunities.
Exciting with a new course that no one has played before. I’ll follow what I can.
Good luck all with your golf and olympic experience!
