Ty, You Are No Blogger!

I went looking for some gossip on the eve of the golf-Olympic announcement and see that IGF head/blogger Ty Votaw has been too busy massaging IOC types to post anything in five days.

I know blogs, and Ty Votaw, you are no blogger.

John Hopkins does suggest that things are heating up in Copenhagen:

Ty Votaw, normally the most mild-mannered man, was feeling the pressure as he worked with his colleagues on golf's presentation to the International Olympic Committee on Friday 9th October. At 20.15 on Wednesday he took a telephone call from a journalist and when the word formality as in "it is a formality that golf will be chosen as one of the two sports at the 2016 Olympic Games," he responded vigorously: "it is NOT a formality. It WON'T be a formality. It never HAS BEEN a formality." We will see.

Now see Ty, that would have made for a good blog post. Tell us who the writer is, why you can't stand him and why you use all caps when you speak. I'm just saying!

The announcement figures to come at 7 a.m. EST, 4 a.m, PST, according to Golf Channel's Tom Abbott. And no, I'm not getting up to analyze it when the news breaks. We have seven years to chew on this one.
