On a recent episode of Kick Point, our golf gear show (available on all good podcast platforms), Joe Ferguson raised the question of why golfers are allowed to begin each hole by teeing their ball up. Referring specifically to those competing on tour, he said: “The problem is drivers have become, relatively speaking, too easy to hit.”
A few days after hearing Joe speak, I was at home with my family, watching the figure skating at the Winter Olympics. Each skater started their four-minute routine knowing one small slip would put paid to their medal chances. Some stayed on their feet, many fell. It was sporting drama at its best.
