| The fact that you had to read about it in Golf Digest says a
lot about the way this "event" was marketed--poorly. The cable
system we have was showing quick, flash commercials in the week
before the show; however, most of the time they were too fast
to determine the who and when, never mind the number to call for
hookup.
Jack Craig, Sports TV critic for The Boston Globe, and Jim
Baker, same duties(???) for The Boston Herald, each reported the
audience at 36 homes out of 120,000 potential cable hookups in the
Boston area. I am hopeful that this miniscule turnout is an indica-
tion of the fans' willingness to exercise their judgement, not simp-
ly a matter of being uninformed about the time the "show" was on.
