Is golf lacking a little bit of stardust right now ?

First topic message reminder :

From pretty much watching any golf that was on TV I have really struggled to be interested in any this year, even the majors. Quite a few reasons for this but I think one of them is that I just find every event a bit samey, in fact all the players to be very good, competent players but there is an absence of stars that just blow you away. I know Rory has the ability to do this but in reality he doesn't do it very often, 3 wins in what 4-5 years as a pro, its hardly Tigeresque though obviously he will probably win a lot more events. Kaymer who I thought would really kick on has had a very poor year and the likes of Donald, Stricker and Westwood are clearly fantastic players but Im not in awe of what they can do and to be honest I dont think the other pros are either.
So you have a very level playing field really, with the decline of Woods (permanent or not, who can say), Mickleson less prominent on a regular basis, and other stars like VJ, Ernie and Goosen really struggling there just isn't that much going on where you can be really wowed by what anyone is doing. The golf is good, some of its exciting....but I really dont care who wins as at the start of the week it could be one of 50 guys and the week after the same thing applies.
Im not sayng I want one player to totally dominate, but golf (well any sport IMO) needs stars and it needs rivalries possibly even more. A rivalry of 50 players just isn't that exciting, for me anyway.I know this will all change, some of the younger guys will kick on, some wont, but right now Im finding it all just a bit lacklustre.

Speaking of intolerable Mac, very well timed.
No surprise you liked another Woods lickspittle. With the exception of max and keizo (two cheeks of the same backside as George galloway would say) he was the worst poster we have ever had darken our doors.

The older I get, the more I become Daily Mail rather than The Grauniad.

And I don't read either - The Daily Telegraph is the best newspaper, by far.

That's pretty typical. Many who are quite left wing when young get more right wing as they get older. Very few go the other way. Nothing wrong with the Guardian any way (unlike the Mail); at least they blew the lid on the NotW/hacking etc.

Max was a plain WUM and posted nothing, ever, of note. Keizo and Simba on the other hand were pretty astute a lot of the time but they could never resist mixing what they said up with deliberate WUMing

I just like to look at the pictures in the Sun
