What ever happened to the gentleman racers? F1 has become too commercial, too big and too political. It's about racing. I think golf has gone down the same road. Golf used to be a gentleman's game. Now, I think golf has been ruined by vulgar golfers with unbelievably bad ettiquette. The manners displayed by the top golfer is especially wretched. I remember the 1999 Ryder Cup, a bi-annual golf event pitting Europe vs. America. After the fiasco and invasion of the course by the U.S. team and players' wives, a prominent sports writer said that Ugly Americans were making an arse out of themselves (again) at an international event.
