If you get a chance, watch "Back Nine at Cherry Hills: The Legends of the 1960 U.S. Open."
A documentary about Hogan, Arnie and Jack playing in his first open as an amateur.
The reports show that Woods did not increase the number of people playing golf or buying golf equipment. His impact has been on the television side. Participation dropped 1% since 1997.
I was curious to see what the impact of Palmer and Jack on golf.
Here it is, forget the media love fest on Woods regarding his impact. It appears to be only a blip when creating true interest.
