 Litke: Golf in Olympics? It could be worse - Olympics - MSNBC.com
Golf was dropped following the 1904 St. Louis Games and there hasn’t been much clamor for its return before now, other than some preliminary discussions in 1992, when the Atlanta power brokers who locked up the 1996 Summer Games dangled the possibility of playing matches at nearby Augusta National.
Like tennis, another proven moneymaker jammed into the Olympic schedule without much fanfare and even less return, it remains to be seen whether the public would buy into an Olympic golf tournament as a way of producing a true world champion.
And the last thing the Olympics need is another set of disgruntled pros expressing that unhappiness by tearing through the minibars in some five-star hotel.
