If you follow as much LPGA golf as I do or pretty much any professional golf with the exception of the Men's European Tour, every single player says the exact same thing albeit in several different ways! I have gotten to despise player interviews and I have no doubt that upon coming on to the tour the rookies are indoctrinated on what to say in interviews. Regardless of weather it's true or accurate or even applicable.
Here is what I have noticed!
The course is always the best ever and in great shape
The Volunteers are always amazing
We always love to come here ! it's such a great tournament
I was grinding it out
The crowd's are great
It's for a great cause
Glad to be here
One of my favorite tournaments
everyone has been so great
I understand the need for all this positive publicity but every single player every single week at every single event. I mean somewhere don't you think that it's ok to say that the "the course is a bit rough" or "the greens are not rolling very good" or "traveling here is kind of tough because it's off the beaten path" I know it's not just golf but what I can't understand is why reporters don't ask better question to get different and more interesting answers.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to here a player get up and tell what they really felt rather than the typical line answers they all give. Sergio had a bad day and ripped on the tournament he was playing in and got sooooo much heat it was ridiculous. I thought, finally, someone tells the truth and the tour ostracizes him for it. Which I find a bit ironic, The Golf tours, pride themselves on fairness and the honesty of their players and yet very few if any actually say how they truly feel when being interviewed. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS THIS! HAVE WE AS A SOCIETY PROGRESSED OR RETREATED TO THE POINT WHERE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE TRUTH?
