Golf could do with curling’s open-mike policy
During yesterday’s final, viewers heard Manitoba and Alberta curlers apologize for bad shots, freely admit their shortcomings and do everything they could to boost their teammates’ morale. That might explain why Terrell Owens never picked up a broom.
In fact, the only negative words all day came from analysts Mike Harris and Joan McCusker, who did an excellent job of pointing out where and why things had gone wrong. But they also had enough sense to close their mouths when the curlers started talking.
While golfers might have to rein themselves in verbally, open mikes would definitely benefit a sport in which most of the players come across as having the personality of oat bran. But even if they’re as dull as they seem, a bit of insight into what caddies and golfers talk about can only enhance the product.
And if Tiger Woods continues to run away with tournaments and viewers continue to stay away from the tournaments he avoids, the PGA might want to take a serious look at borrowing from curling.
