"Rio isn't ready for its Olympic closeup"
/Not the most encouraging report from Golf Digest's Matthew Rudy, who has returned from Rio with...not good news.
Ehh...
It's dangerous to walk around. The water is essentially untreated sewage. The threat from Zika is small but real. Brazil is in the middle of its worst economic downturn in 30 years, and the people just impeached their president for corruption.
But, hey, the exchange rate is terrific. And the golf course? A work of art, transformed from a swampy waste pit by a hundred determined workers trained from scratch by superintendent Neil Cleverly.
It will look amazing on television. Stay home and watch.
