But they gave us a day of Whistler and Cabo instead. They just failed to label it because it would cause so much angst for the players in some countries.There are some dates in more recent history that should NOT be remembered with free logo balls. Better to stay out of world politics.
Instead, we should support a program of free balls to honor great golfers. Let's start with a free ball with Bobby Jones name or face presented to us on March 17, his birth date. A Golden Bear ball on January 21.
Or, like the Memorial Tournament, a ball given out on a certain date each year to honor someone in the Golf Hall of Fame. On the date of the induction ceremony, a ball could be given to WGT players that day to honor one of the 155 members of the Hall.
