A couple weeks ago, in a column for the weekly WorldGolf.com newsletter, I (with tongue somewhat in cheek) chided golf bloggers for how they covered the Golf Digest/PGA Tour partnership deal. That resulted in a number of responses from readers and golf bloggers, some branding me a dope, some saying "who cares about that deal anyway!?" and others complimenting the piece. A lot of good points were raised, especially with regards to the role that bloggers (at least some bloggers) like to play: that of "self-styled people's journalists who serve as watchdogs picking up the slack from the fat, bloated MSM (that's blogger-ese for "Main Stream Media") too out of touch to report a 'real' story if it jumped up and bit 'em in the rear," as I wrote.

Along those lines, I just came across an interesting entry by a Kareem Mayan on the role of bloggers. Check it out here.
