    The Commercially-Viable Personality Paradox

    With endorsements and appearance fees and products on display
    The game becomes a sideshow
    when business has its way.

    The golf course is a showroom
    enticing us to buy and see
    the clubs and cars professionals
    play and drive for free.

    Top players groomed to neutral,
    Only newbies show some depth
    The money's too enticing.
    Who wants to stay bereft?

    So money morphs a complex being
    into a simple guy.
    Like a plain gray suit that's 'off the rack'... not even a red tie.

    Top players hide what makes them real
    when camera lights are on.
    There's only room for the unknowns
    to say what's going on.

    The delicate duality
    of image and personality
    is very hard to find
    in golf these days.

    Arnold Palmer keeps it real
    and has enormous fan appeal
    but who else has both his stature and his ways?

    You want more personalities, make the game more affordable and affable to those on the wrong side of the tracks. Perhaps then you will get some personalities besides the richies born with a silver spoon who puss out against tiger every weekend. The supposed accessability of golf is a joke when referencing the path it takes to attain PGA Tour status. Good day.
