Par4QC They should rename the team Sugar Daddy and the 3 Stooges! JK - I'm sure Dustin is quite happy with his choice of team members given 3 first place finishes in a row.
Super League Predictions
Those guys sold out to the highest bidder. I'd have probably done the same.

Technically not. They went to the only bidder.
And it really was never a bidding war. 1 side offered sure money, the other offered.......I forgot what they offered. If anything.
Just looked it up.....2 days of OOP expenses in order to play 2 days, guaranteed. For a loss of $$.
KCee jmo, but I don't think some of those fellas went for the money. Hell, they stunk with wealth already. And as we've seen, their point was made. Loudly/clearly. The future members of the PGA should always thank them for that, much the same as everyone keeps thanking TW for the money they make today. No diff.

Nah, pretty sure it was for the money. And I have no problem with that

Importance? 
For many people what they do for entertainment / leisure activity whether it be watching a movie, football game or golf gives people some sense of enjoyment.
How important that is to someone is relative to the individual. Just like passing time on a golf forum daily for some is a leisure activity that is important to them. Lol
I think anything in life that gives someone some pleasure / happiness would be important.

This is the most LIV Golf I’ve watched. Off with his head!

Sneakylong Importance?
Sure it does, but when it's over it's no longer important. Does Jack Nicklaus holding the record for most majors really matter in your life? If you're a Tiger fan and he breaks Jack's record you'll be happy momentarily but it won't mean squat to your life in a week. And if it does, you have problems.

I think you know what I mean and are just being obtuse. Sure a round of golf is something I really enjoy and golf is important. But that round I shot last week has no bearing on my life.
The Tigers won the World Series in 1984, and it was great fun at the time, but what does it matter now?
Just a random observation. Ian Poulter might be a douch-nozzle. Don't know for sure.

Life is full of trivial things that people enjoy everyday. Try going a week without watching TV. Try going a week without being on GolfBuzz. I’d say for many TV and maybe even a golf forum add significance and value to their everyday life.
Are some of these mundane things we do important? I’d say yeah, that’s what life is all about. A lot of the minutia of life is the good stuff. I like playing, watching, talking golf. This time of year I like watching football. Like watching the sports shows talking football.
It’s what I enjoy. So it’s important to me. It’s cliché to say sports aren’t important. Well of course entertainment compared to some other things aren’t as important.
Life is a collection of memories. For many sports create a lot of memories. Again, for many that’s important. But you could substitute sports with other forms of entertainment. Again, all relative. You bring out the obtuseness in me.
**After the first round in Chicago, Akili Johnson, of DrunkByTheTurnLink, posed a strange question to Smith over him beating McIlroy at St Andrews: "I just wanted to reflect on you being the 150th winner of The Open. I know you'd spoken about how many beers you could fit in the Claret Jug," Johnson said.
"I think it was two. I just want to know, how many of Rory McIlroy's tears were you able to fit in it after it?" The query prompted laughter from Smith and playing partners Matthew Wolff and Phil Mickelson, before the world No 3 said he wouldn't be answering.**

Sneakylong I'm actually with Gary on this one. Yes, sports are fun. I love football, too, and I love to watch the games. And obviously I come to the forum to read and to post my opinion. It's enjoyable to me, and it's entertainment. I would also agree that life without entertainment of some sort would be much more difficult, not that a lot of our ancestors didn't live that kind of life.
But I wouldn't go so far as to say that sports are important or that they matter. Would lt give me a temporary thrill to have my favorite football team win the Super Bowl? Of course, and I would enjoy it immensely. Does that mean it matters if my team wins the Super Bowl? I don't think so.
A couple of months ago we lost all tv and internet for about three days at my house. To make matters worse, my wife was out of town. So when I got home from work it was just me and my cat. I'll be honest and say that at first there was a feeling of withdrawal that was uncomfortable. After that, though, I started to do other things, like read some books and play the piano. And you know what? Life went on, and it wasn't even horrible. In my opinion, most people would be slightly better off to turn off their tvs and their phones once in a while, maybe talk to the people who live in their house, you know, face to face? I know it's an antiquated notion. Might even be a good idea to have a media/device holiday once in a while, maybe even once a week (gasp).
At any rate, I stick with my former assertion that all sports are exhibitions, and not really important. Enjoy them if you want to, sure, but to pretend that they actually matter is folly, imo.
