Years ago I asked a golf instructor, who taught over there, why the Asians take to the game of golf faster and better. She said, it's because they have a shorter achilles tendon. I was befuddled. Because of this they have a better sense of balance. A much needed golf swing quality. In any sport there is a physical race advantage.
I asked an asian player, who practiced 8 hours a day, and gets followed by her family all along the way, unlike American drop off kids, what is the motivation. She said it was either golf or school and marriage...good motivation.... but let's not forget pride. A depleting American quality. Seems the American girls have less motivation.........
The mens tour is starting to see more and more asian players as well. Waiting to see the same type of leaderboard. The women, however, need to play longer and harder courses to be more interesting. And, golf announcers, coverage, are awful on the mens and ladies side.
Lastly, the golf ball doesn't know your race, it just knows a well struck shot. Maybe we should be like the golf ball. And, let's not get started on basketball players. We just have to be like the hoop. Appreciate the swish.........not the swisher.........

Jerry Barber and Gary Player would both approve!
