Cybergolf ran my Hurricane Sandy article on the damage to golf courses.
From the article:
“Golf can’t help these people, but golfers can. We all know the PGA Tour doesn’t like to publicize the specifics of its charitable efforts, but it seems that when it comes to Sandy relief efforts golfers and golf writers are pulling together faster and more often than Tour players. Sandy cleanup efforts have been in full swing for six weeks, but all we hear from Tour officials is the tired mantra of, “We’re monitoring the situation and encouraging the fans to do all they can.”
Instead of cruising Asia for more money to throw onto the pile, why don’t the Tour pros come and hand out necessities and staples like Mayo, Cordova, Moulton and the thousands of ordinary New Yorkers who have pulled together to help their neighbors? For too many New Yorkers (and indeed all across the Eastern seaboard), Sandy’s aftermath is still a matter of life and death. Show us you’re an everyday hero, not just some guy who plays one on TV Sunday afternoons.”
