Former Olympian Slams Nicklaus & Player's View Of The Games

Martin Inglis reports that 62-year-old Scot David Wilkie--a gold medal winner at the 1976 Olympic games--has heard Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player's defense of Olympic golf's grow-the-game possibilities and feels they are off-base. Actually, he call their views "absolute bullshit."

From the Bunkered exclusive:

“Golf doesn’t need any stimulation, it doesn’t need a wider audience, and if people in these countries are going to play golf, it’ll never, ever filter down to the poorer people so I think what they’re saying is absolute bullshit.

“I think they’re just looking after their own psyche in the sense that they want to build more golf courses because of the money they’ll get paid for designing them.”
