The Open is coming.
After the success of the Irish Open at Portrush, a golf major is coming back to the shores of Ireland but we already know how it’s going to go down in 2019.
Something like this.
1. It will get called a bandwagon
A sporting event cannot be enjoyed by sports fans unless they have dedicated their lives to that sport.
2. It will get called sh*te
3. It will be placed on a pedestal
4. It brings out the ‘My Sport Is Better Than Yours’ brigade
Insert threat to your sport here…
5. Others use it as a chance to promote their sport
6. The future of the sport will come into question
The rain is having an effect on play.
7. The culture will get criticised
Players are working too hard, we’re breeding too many athletes and we’re one more column away from a winter training ban.
8. Someone will be offended by something
9. A couple of journalists decide to live tweet
10. The buzz soon catches on though
11. But bandwagon debunkers are at the ready
12. The Aussies have too much in the end
And the post-mortems aren’t long in starting.
13. But sure they’re still heroes anyway
