Who Says The PGA Tour Isn't Progressive? "MATCHUPS" Debuts

I shudder to think how many meetings the underlings conducted with the fuddy-duddies at the top of the PGA Tour BMW 7 Series chain to convince them that this social media thing combined with the gambling thing can draw Americans to certain sports (eh, the NFL).

Anyway, somehow the fun-lovers in Ponte Vedra emerged victorious and this week the PGA Tour debuts Matchups, what I think could be a very positive move in the direction of making the tour more interactive and fun each week. Only quibble: as with their fantasy league excursions, the prizes are still a little underwhelming, but this is a solid start.

I've entered and also started a group under the highly original title, GeoffShackelford.com.

I found the interface and sign up very easy, so if you're on Facebook, join in and let's test this thing out!
