The Long-Standing Association of Beer and Rugby
As long as there have been sports where guys get down and dirty, there have been strong beers to celebrate the camaraderie created on the field. Win or lose, the true gladiators of the game were the ones that earned the respect of their teammates, the opponent, and themselves. They were able to do this by leaving it all out on the field.
Guinness is a beer that is kind of like that. Guinness is one of the top selling beers in the world; however, the company knows that it will never be able to compete with the more watered down versions of beer that most people drink. They only drink it because they don’t really know what a real beer tastes like.
This is the same kind of thing that happens in sports – no one is claiming that rugby has ever been the most popular sport. People much prefer to watch the watered down, corporatized versions of sports that are plastered all over the TVs of the world, complete with big egos and company sponsorships that fully eclipse the sport that is being played on the field.

The PGA Championship Golf Tournament – The Big Letdown
The PGA Championship is normally my least favorite tournament of the 4 majors. The PGA seems to copy the US Open in it course selection. Both tournaments typically chose old classic courses with poor optics for television and seemingly redundant holes.
Contrarily this year, as was the case in 2004, the tournament was held at Whistling Straits, a “links” golf course. The Straits has a wide variety of holes and plenty of disaster awaiting every shot.
Digressing: if you saw the coverage this week you may share my impression that Whistling Straits looked like a target golf course dropped into a sandbox. When I think of a links course I think of St. Andrews, Troon and Bandon Dunes (Oregon) where they have pot bunkers in the middle of the fairway right where you want to hit your tee shot. They require that you play bump and run shots into greens.
