medias mind

As I have talked about before is that Golfing is one of my semiotic domains. Over spring break I went with my schools golf team to play the Robert Trent Jones golf trail in Dothens, Alabama. We played 18 holes of golf everyday. Media portrays golf in many ways. Sometimes I disagree with the ways that media portrays golf. Medias biggest and most well known figure to golf is Tiger Woods. Although , I do like Tiger Woods and I do know he is a great golfer but sometimes I wish Media would talk about more than just Tiger. Also, another image that media gives golf is that it is an easy, laid back, not athletic sport to play. Yes, a great thing about golf is that you can play it until you are old. But, competition golf is a lot different than just playing 9 holes on a cart with some friends. Golf can be very hard and exhausting just like basketball and football and other sports. You have to practice just as hard and put in just as many or even more hours than other sports. Playing in the heat walking and carrying a golf bag is hard work. You need to be in good shape to play golf. I think that sometimes media does a disservice to the sport in showing how much hard work it can be.
